7J  GAIN  we  present  a  list  of  Themes.  Enough  of  them,  if  rightly 
-^  used,  to  make  one's  soul  like  a  watered  garden.  May  the  smile 
of  heaven  be  on  them  and  on  the  people  who  use  them. 

The  list  begins  with  ''Jesus,  the  Saviour  of  Sinners,"  is  held  in  the 
centre  by  **The  Blood  of  Christ,"  and  closes  with  the  Christian's 
watchword,  "Victory." 

They  begin  by  leading  the  sinner  from  the  City  of  Destruction,  and 
end  by  setting  his  face  like  a  flint  toward  Mount  Zion. 

Their  aim  and  object  is  to  make  the  Young  People's  Meetings  and 
evangelistic  services  so  full  of  point  and  power  that  the  attendance 
shall  be  doubled,  the  interest  trebled,  and  the  results  fourfold  greater 
than  they  have  been. 

They  are  sent  forth  with  a  prayerful  God-speed,  to  visit  and  bless  not 
only  the  thousands  who  in  summer  visit  Ocean  Grove,  but  the  hungry 
and  thirsty  ones  in  home,  hall,  prayer  circle,  social  meeting,  and  the 
church. 

May  God  bless  each  one  into  whose  hands  the  little  collection  shall 
fall,  as  greatly  as  he  has  blessed  me  in  the  compiling  of  the  same. 

Yours  to  win  souls, 

C.  H.  Yatman. 


HOW  TO  USE  THE  THEMES: 

Announce  beforehand  the  number  of  the  Theme  for  the  meeting. 

Let  the  leader  and  the  audience  read  in  concert  the  seven  "suggest- 
ive lines."  The  last  two,  printed  in  italics,  are  always  in  the  form  of  a 
question,  and  are  to  be  the  central  idea  of  the  service. 

Let  the  "Gems  of  Thought"  be  read  by  some  one  person  who  can 
explain  them  in  a  brief,  pointed  way. 

The  "Question"  should  always  be  asked  by  the  leader  and  answered 
by  the  full  congregation. 

Weave  in  the  song  sayings,  hymns,  and  proverbs. 

Get  your  scripture  out  of  the  chapter  named. 

Urge  that  all  prayers  and  remarks  be  on  the  lines  of  the  Theme,  and 
select  hymns  that  bear  directly  on  the  subject.

JESUS.  ^H^ 


SKILIOXJR 
OF  •  SINN6RS. 


I'm  so  glad  He  came  to  save  me. 

A  sinner  can  find  no  Saviour  but  Jesus. 

Saved  with  righteousness,  peace  and  joy  here.      Heaven  and  glory 

First  Jesus  becomes  a  Saviour,  then  a  helper.  [hereafter. 

Not  the  righteous,  but  sinners,  Jesus  came  to  call. 

Who  of  us  can  say,  "-He  saves  me^^f 

Who  will  say,  ''^ I  wish  He  would  save  me^^f 


•^Qems  of  I'hought/t^- 


A  little  girl  fell  into  a  cistern,  and  called 
loudly  for  help,  when  her  mother  hastened 
to  her  rescue.  Telling  how  she  was  saved, 
she  said,  "  I  reached  up  as  far  as  I  could, 
and  mother  did  the  rest."  So  Christ  saves 
the  sinner. 

The  saddest  road  to  hell  is  that  which 
runs  under  the  pulpit,  past  the  Bible,  and 
through  the  midst  of  warnings  and  invita- 
tions.— J^y/e. 

"Sir,"  said  an  ungodly  man,  "  I  hope  to 
be  saved  at  last."     "It  would  be  better. 


friend,  to  be  saved  at  first,"  was  the  reply. 
Let  us  go  down  on  our  knees  and  seek  the 
blessing  now. 

When  the  Rev.  John  Newton  in  his  old 
age  found  memory  failing  him,  he  used  to 
say,  "two  things  I  won't  forget:  ist.  I  am  a 
great  sinner;  2d,  Jesus  is  a  great  Saviour." 

Sinners,  whose  love  can  ne'er  forget 
The  wormwood  and  the  gall. 

Go,  spread  your  trophies  at  his  feet, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all.

"  Believe  on  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  and

verily,  I  say  unto  you,  he  that  believeth  on 


in  Jesus  and  his  atoning  work  for  YOU  as  a 
lost  sinner.  To  be  saved  you  must  turn 
from  all  sin,  receive  Jesus,  and  give  your-

-^*  payings  about  gongs.^ 

Heaven  has  all  the  music,  hell  has  none.  In  eternity  a  saved  soul  always  sings,  a  lost 
soul  never  sings.  Oh,  to  hear  the  song  of  Moses  and  the  Lamb.  It's  worth  all  life's  bat- 
tles to  hear  them  sing  just  once  in  heaven. 


JOY  TO  THE  WOl\LD, 

Joy  to  the  world !  the  Lord  is  come ; 

Let  earth  receive  her  King; 
Let  every  heart  prepare  him  room, 

And  heaven  and  nature  sing. 
Joy  to  the  world  !  the  Saviour  reigns ; 

Let  men  their  songs  employ ;       [plains. 
While  fields  and   floods,  rocks,  hills  and 

Repeat  the  sounding  joy. 


No  more  let  sin  and  sorrow  grow, 

Nor  thorns  infest  the  ground ; 
He  comes  to  make  his  blessings  flow 

Far  as  the  curse  is  found. 
He  rules  the  world  with  truth  and  grace, 

And  makes  the  nations  prove 
The  glories  of  his  righteousness, 

And  wonders  of  his  love.

^^Qems  of  T'houglit/i^^ 


A  frightened  lark  was  once  pursued  by  a 
hawk.  Round  and  round  in  narrowing 
cycles  the  scared  bird  flew,  till  it  seemed  as 
if  its  foe  would  soon  plant  its  beak  in  its 
breast.  A  friend  of  mine  standing  under 
the  birds,  feeling  a  sympathetic  interest  in 
the  chase,  opened  the  folds  of  his  coat,  and 
by  soothing  tone  and  gesture  wooed  the 
weak,  frightened  lark,  till  it  sank  panting  to 
his  breast,  safely  sheltered  from  its  ravenous 


foe.  Its  natural  timidity  was  overcome  by 
a  greater  fear,  and  thus  its  peril  and  its 
powerlessness  led  it  to  come  to  a  sure  ref- 
uge. The  tempted  believers  will  likewise 
seek  the  everlasting  arms,  and  say,  "  Let  me 
hide  myself  in  thee!" 

True  Christian  experience  involves  both 
hope  and  fear.  The  more  we  fear  his  jus- 
tice, the  more  we  hasten  to  the  shelter  of  his 
mercy. — A  Contrite  Heart.

Question — (But  who  may  abide  the  day  of  his  coming? 
And  who  shall  stand  when  he  appear eth?  — Mai.iii.2. 

The  answer  is.  He  whose  transgression  is  I  Lamb.      Therefore    are    they    before    the 


forglx-en,  whose  sin  is  covered. — Ps.  xxxii.  i. 

These  are  they  which  came  out  of  great 

tribulation,  and   have  washed    their  robes, 

and  made  them  white  in  the  blood  of  the 


throne  of  God,  and  serve  him  day  and  night 
in  his  temple. — Rev.  vii.  14,  15. 

When  Christ  appears  we  who  trust  and 
serve  him  shall  be  made  like  unto  him.

Even  the  beasts  of  the  field  like  singing.  I've  seen  the  cows  listen  to  open-air  song. 
Serpents  like  songs.  The  birds  warble  till  the  air  rings.  I  wish  I  could  get  the  folks  to 
take  hold  of  the  music  with  the  same  interest  that  a  mocking-bird  does. 


LED    BY  JESUS. 


Saviour,  like  a  shepherd  lead  us, 

Much  we  need  thy  tenderest  care; 
In  thy  pleasant  pastures  feed  us, 

For  our  use  thy  folds  prepare : 
Blessed  Jesus, 

Thou  hast  bought  us  thine  we  are. 
We  are  thine,  do  thou  befriend  us, 

Be  the  guardian  of  our  way ; 
Keep  thy  flock,  from  sin  defend  us. 

Seek  us  when  we  go  astray  : 
Blessed  Jesus, 

Hear,  oh,  hear  us,  when  we  pray. 


Thou  hast  promised  to  receive  us. 

Poor  and  sinful  though  we  be; 
Thou  hast  mercy  to  relieve  us, 

Grace  to  cleanse  and  power  to  free : 
Blessed  Jesus, 

We  will  early  turn  to  thee. 
Early  let  us  seek  thy  favor. 

Early  let  us  do  thy  will ; 
Blessed  Lord  and  only  Saviour, 

With  thy  love  our  bosoms  fill:

_^       '"■=  P _'  T0-H6HV6N.     |I| 


The  Bible,  God's  printed  invitation  to  the  sinner. 

I  believe  in  the  full  inspiration  of  Scripture. 

The  Scriptures,  our  only  rule  for  faith  and  practice. 

The  key-word  of  the  whole  Bible  is  "Come." 

To  love  the  Bible,  prove  its  promises. 

Who  trusts  the  promise  for  salvation? 

Who  will  take  Isaiah  xii.  2  a^  theirs  ? 


^Qems  of  T'hought/*- 


What  the  Scripture  forbids,  avoid ;  what 
it  affirms,  believe;  what  it  commands,  do; 
what  it  reproves,  amend.  As  many  as  walk 
by  this  rule,  peace  on  them,  and  on  all  the 
Israel  of  God. —  TTiomas  Adams. 

When  we  have  Bible  conversations,  our 
lives  as  rich  as  diamonds  cast  a  sparkling 
lustre  in  the  Church  of  God,  and  are  in 
some  sense  parallel  with  the  life  of  Christ,  as 
the  transcript  with  the  original, —  Watson. 

Don't  think  you  can  read  the  Word  of 
God  without  incurring  responsibility — you 
cannot;  nor  can  you  shirk  responsibility  by 
not  reading  it. 

To  the  complaint,  "I  make  no  progress  in 


the  Christian  life,"  Sarah  Martin,  the  pris- 
oner's friend,  made  answer,  Take  your  Bible 
on  your  knees,  plow  into  it,  and  you  will 
not  stand  still. 

The  Bible  must  be  the  invention  either  of 
good  men  or  angels,  bad  men  or  devils,  or 
God.  (i)  It  could  not  be  \\\&  first,  for  they 
neither  could  nor  would  themselves  invent  a 
book  meantime  lying  in  saying.  "Thus 
saith  the  Lord."  (2)  not  the  second,  for 
they  would  not  make  a  book  which  com- 
mands all  duty,  forbids  all  sin,  and  con- 
demns their  souls  to  hell  to  all  eternity : 
(3)  therefore  the  Bible  must  be  given  by  di- 
vine inspiration. —  Wesley.

The  Bible  says  much  about  singing.  It  should  be  with  the  spirit  and  understanding. 
The  soul  should  go  into  every  note  and  word.  There  should  be  worship  in  it.  Let  there 
be  no  lifeless  music  in  our  churches.

Theme  4. 


No  Christian  can  live  without  prayer. 

All  prayer  is  based  on  the  fatherhood  of  God. 

There  should  be  public  prayer,  private  prayer,  and  family  prayer. 

The  great  prayer  of  Jesus  is  in  John  xvii. 

The  man  who  prays  is  the  man  of  power. 

Who  have  had  answers  to  prayer  f 

Who  will  pray  for  salvation  now  ? 

^•Qems  of  fhought/^ 


Prayer  is  not  conquering  God's  reluctance, 
but  taking  hold  of  Gods  willingness. — 
P/ii//i/>  Brooks. 

Never  was  faithful  prayer  lost  at  sea.  No 
merchant  trades  with  such  certainty  as  the 
praying  saint.  Some  prayers  have  a  longer 
voyage  than  others,  but  they  return  with  a 
richer  lading  at  last. — Gurnall. 

Human  prayer  falls  below  divine  re- 
sources. 

The  arrow  of  prayer  that  would  hit  the 
mark  must  be  drawn  with  full  strength. 
He  that,  in  prayer  for  grace,  ivill  not  be  de- 
nied, shall  not  be  denied. — Switinock.

— St.  Chrysostotn. 

If  tempted  not  to  pray,  pray  the  more. 
If  tempted  to  postpone  prayer,  pray  at  that 
very  time;  most  probably  God  has  a  bless- 
ing for  you;  Satan  suspects  He  has.  or  he 
would  not  be  so  anxious  to  persuade  you  to

In  all  points  like  we  are,  Christ  was  tempted. 
Thus  he  knows  how  to  succor  the  tempted  heart. 
Christ  Jesus  was  made  perfect  through  suffering. 
Whom  the  Lord  loveth  he  chasteneth. 
God  will  not  let  us  be  over  tempted  or  tried. 
Who  has  been  delivered  in  temptation  f 
Wlw  have  found  trials  a  blessing  ?

The  hand  must  be  steady.  The  arm 
must  be  strong.  The  soul  should  be  well 
armed,  so  that  it  may  be  prepared  for  every

who  will  not  take  both. 

There  are  three  sources  of  temptation,  and

QuESTiON — Which  is  the  first  commandment  of  all? 

—Mark  xii.  28. 


Exodus  XX  should  be  learned  by  all,  as  it 
is  the  commandment  chapter  of  the  Bible, 
but  the  answer  to  this  question,  answered 
in  the  New  Testament,  is  especially  pointed. 

The  first  of  all  the  commandments  is, 
Hear,  O  Israel;  The  Lord  our  God  is  one 


Lord:  and  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy 
God  with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy 
soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind,  aud  with  all 
thy  strength. — Mark  xii.  29,  30. 

He  that  loveth  not,  knoweth  not  God;  for 
God  is  love. — i  John  iv.  8.

How  singers  live !  Long  after  they  are  gone  their  songs  bring  them  back.  Beethoven 
and  Handel,  Haydn  and  Mozart,  they  live  yet.  Many  of  their  songs  born  of  grief  have 
taken  grief  away.  Many  a  hymn  is  but  the  reflex  of  the  writer.  Many  a  word  and  note 
of  song  is  but  crystalized  tears  set  to  music.

approval  of  God's  remedy  for  sin,  but  un-

See  to  it  then,  that  you  make  not  the  fatal 
mistake,  but  believe,  receive,  accept,  and 
salvation  is  yours,  even  life  eternal  and  the 
glory  that  fadeth  not  away. 

How  extensive  is  the  atonement!  so  ex- 
tensive that  none  will  be  lost  by  reason  of 
any  deficiency  in  it :  so  extensive  that  if  all 
would  accept  it  all  would  be  saved.

which  raiseth  the  dead:   who  dehvered  us

Be  assured  that  sin  is  not  a  light  thing, 
either  as  you  find  it  in  yourself,  or  see  it  in 
others.  It  is  hateful  to  God;  it  is  ruinous 
to  man.  If  not  confessed  to  God.  forsaken 
in  practice,  and  pardoned,  it  will  shut  the 
soul  out  of  heaven.  But  Christ  is  a  Saviour. 
He  came  into  thp  world  to  save  us  from  the 
guilt  and  power  of  all  sin.  Go  to  Him  with 
faith  in  His  atoning  sacrifice,  and  though 
your  sins  have  been  great,  and  your  ex- 
ample only  for  evil,  you  shall  find  that  He 
is  able  to  save  even  you. 


If  you  think  you  can  trust  in  Christ's 
sacrifice  for  salvation,  without  obeying  his 
precepts  as  a  rule  of  sanctification,  you  are 
greatly  mistaken :  trust  in  Christ  will  lead 
you  to  take  the  yoke  of  Christ. 

"A  little  while  to  tell  the  old.  o/d  story, 
How  Jesus  came,  the  glorious  Prince  of

Oh,  then  the  heights  from  glory  unto  glory. 
In  the  bright  realm  where  joy  shall  never

Gi:^6R  •  OF  •  LIFE, 


To  have  Christ  is  to  have  eternal  life. 

Dead  souls  live  when  Christ  speaks  the  word  of  life. 

There  is  life  for  a  look  at  the  Crucified  One. 

Paith  is  the  channel  by  which  life  flows. 

Everlasting  life  cannot  be  bought,  it  is  a  gift. 

Have  you  the  gift  of  God — eternal  life  ? 

Who  will  pass  from  death  unto  life  to-day  f

Dost  thou  love  life?  then  do  not  squander 
time :  for  that  is  the  stuff  life  is  made  of. — 
Franklin. 

Few  are  they  who  by  faith  touch  Christ ; 
multitudes  are  they  who  throng  about  him. 

The  whole  of  the  Christian  religion  is  this : 
The  grace  of  God  as  the  source  of  mercy ; 
faith  in  Christ  as  the  way  of  salvation ;  the 
Spirit  of  God  as  our  guide;  the  love  of  God 
as  our  law ;  and  eternal  life  as  our  end. 


The  wages  that  sin  bargains  for  with  the 
sinner  are  life,  pleasure  and  profit;  but  the 
wages  it  pays  him  with  are  death,  torment, 
and  destruction.  He  that  would  understand 
the  falsehood  and  deceit  of  sin,  must  com- 
pare its  promises  and  its  payments  together. 

No  other  hope  shall  intervene  : 

To  Him  we  look,  on  Him  we  lean : 

Other  foundations  we  disown. 

And  build  on  Christ,  the  "  Living  Stone."

Faith  is  the  soul  s  eye,  which  must  be

With  the  shadow  of  thy  wing. 


LOYEI\  OF   MY   SOUL. 


Thou.  O  Christ,  art  all  I  want; 

More  than  all  in  thee  I  find: 
Raise  the  fallen,  cheer  the  faint. 

Heal  the  sick,  and  lead  the  blind. 
Just  and  holy  is  thy  name, 

I  am  all  unrighteousness; 
Vile  and  full  of  sin  I  am. 

Thou  art  full  of  truth  and  grace. 
Plenteous  grace  with  thee  is  found — 

Grace  to  cover  all  my  sin ; 
Let  the  healing  streams  abound  ; 

Make  and  keep  me  pun-  within. 
Thou  of  life  the  fountain  art. 

Freely  let  me  take  of  thee ; 
Spring  thou  up  within  my  heart, 

Rise  to  all  eternity.

The  gospel  of  salvation  is  the  world's  only- 
hope.  Ethical  teaching  can  never  reach  to 
the  depth  of  the  evil.  I  have  no  harsh  word 
to  utter  against  any  who  are  honestly  trying 
to  do  good  to  their  fellow  men;  but  when 
you  can  dispense  with  sunlight,  and  make 
your  wheat  fields  flourish  by  the  agency  of 
moonshine,  then  you  may  expect  to  break 
the  power  of  sin  by  mere  ethical  culture, — 
Prof.  Fisher,  of  Yale  College. 

The  beauty  of  that  holiness  which  is  en- 
shrined in  the  four  brief  biographies  of  the 
Man  of  Nazareth  has  done  more,  and  will 
do  more  to  regenerate  the  world  and  bring 


in   everlasting    righteousness,  than    all    the 
other  agencies  put  together. —  Chalmers. 

If  we  do  not  see  the  golden  thread  through 
all  the  Bible  marking  out  Christ,  we  read  the 
Scripture  without  the  key. —  Cecil. 

Love  strong  as  deatii,  nay,  stronger, 

Love  mighter  than  the  grave ; 
Broad  as  the  earth,  and  longer 

Than  ocean's  widest  wave : 
This  is  the  love  that  sought  us, 
This  is  the  love  that  bought  us, 
This  is  the  love  that  brought  us 

To  gladdest  day  from  saddest  night, 
From  deepest  shame  to  glory  bright.

The  first  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  LOVE. 
Where  the  Spirit  is,  there  is  joy  and  pe^ce. 
Our  bodies  are  the  temple  of  the  Holy  Spirit.

^^Qems  of  I'hought.-gV- 


Sour  godliness  is  not  the  fruit  of  the  love 
of  Christ.  Sweetness,  gentleness,  and  pity, 
are  the  qualities  with  which  he  endows' his 
disciples.  It  is  imperfect  virtue  which  is 
sour,  severe,  and  implacable.  Perfect  vir- 
tue is  meek,  affable,  and  compassionate.  It 
thinks  of  nothing  but  doing  good, "'  of  bear- 
ing one  another's  burdens."  There  is  no 
acidity  in  pure  Christ  love. 

Fruit  might  as  well  be  e.xpected  from  a  tree 
without  a  root,  as  meekness  and  temperance 
without  the  indwelling  Spirit.        Gal.  v.  23. 

Religion,  in  the  very  essence  of  it,  is  noth- 
ing short  of  holy  tempers. —  IVcs/ey. 

Pure  religion  and  undefiled  is  "  minister- 


ing;" not  the  other  thing,  "being  ministered 
unto."  It  is  handing  over  the  morning 
paper  to  another  for  first  perusal.  It  is  va- 
cating a  pleasant  seat  by  the  fire  for  one 
who  comes  in  chilled.  It  is  giving  the  most 
restful  arm-chair  or  sofa-corner  for  one  who 
is  weary.  It  is  "moving  up"  in  the  pew  to 
let  the  new-comer  sit  down  by  the  entrance. 
It  is  rising  from  your  place  to  darken  the 
blind  when  the  sun's  rays  stream  in  too 
brightly  upon  some  face  in  the  circle.  It  is 
giving  up  your  comfort  and  convenience 
every  time  for  the  comfort  and  convenience 
of  another.  This  is  at  once  true  courtesy

THE  GREAT   HOPE, 


Watchman,  tell  me,  does  the  morning 

Of  fair  Zion's  glory  dawn? 
Have  the  signs  that  mark  its  coming 

Yet  upon  thy  pathway  shone? 
Pilgrim,  yes,  arise,  look  round  thee, 

Light  is  breaking  in  the  skies; 
Gird  thy  bridal  robes  around  thee, 

Morning  dawns,  arise,  arise  I 


Watchman,  see,  the  light  is  beaming, 

Brighter  still  upon  the  way ; 
Signs  through  all  the  earth  are  gleaming, 

Omens  of  the  coming  day 
When  the  Jubal  trumpet  sounding. 

Shall  awake  from  earth  and  sea. 
All  the  saints  of  God  now  sleeping. 

Clad  in  immortality.

Israel's  apostasy  began  when  she  made 
affinity  with  the  people  of  the  land,  and 
confessed  that  she  was  not  strong  enough  to 
drive  them  out.  The  apostasy  of  the  Church 
begins  at  the  same  point.  Whenever  the 
Church  makes  affinity  with  the  world,  and 
becomes  a  respecter  of  persons,  going  after 
one  class  to  the  neglect  of  another,  and  con- 
fesses, either  by  declaration  or  action,  that 
she  is  not  equal  to  the  task  of  evangelizing 
the  world,  her  power  is  gone,  and  she  rpust 
from  that  point  decline. — (7.  F.  Pentecost. 

A  Christian  never  falls  suddenly  from  an 
advanced   Christian    life    to   barrenness    or 


open  sin.  The  stages  in  the  descent  are 
slow  and  often  almost  imperceptible. 

Don't  let  the  heart  backslide;  if  it  does, 
the  life  will  soon  show  it.  Things  always  go 
wrong  inside  first,  then  the  evidence  is  not 
long  wanting. 

None  will  have  such  a  dreadful  parting 
with  the  Lord  at  the  last  day  as  those  who 
went  half  way  with  him  and  then  left  him. 

Even  after  the  shipwreck  we  try  the  sea 
again. — Seneca.

A  number  of  young  men  were  walking 
down  Princes  street,  Edinburgh,  one  even- 
ing, all  of  them  treading  the  path  that  lead- 
eth  to  death.  As  they  passed  along,  a 
church  clock  suddenly  struck  ten.  The 
thought  instantly  occurred  to  one  of  them, 
"This  is  the  time  when  at  home  father  is 
taking  down  the  Bible  for  family  prayers." 
He  stopped  short,  and  said,  "  I  can't  go 
with  you."  They  enquired  why  not,  and 
tried  to  laugh  him  mto  going;  but  he 
turned  and  went  home,  and  there  on  his 
knees  he  prayed  and  wept  before  God.     It 


was  the  sinner  arrested,  convicted,  saved. 
The  voice  of  the  clock  was  God's  voice  to 
him ;  he  heard,  and  obeyed.  But  how 
many  there  are  who  stop  their  ears  to  every 
call,  and  rush  on  to  eternal  ruin !  Yet  a  lit- 
tle longer  the  voice  still  cries  to  the  unsaved : 
"  To-day,  if  ye  will  hear  his  voice,  harden 
not  your  hearts." 

A  man  may  go  to  heaven  without  health, 
without  riches,  without  honors,  without 
learning,  without  friends;  but  he  can  never 
get  there  without  Christ. — Djfer.

Yea.  with  earnest  consecration, 

Give  yourselves  to  service  there.

There  is  no  love  like  the  love  of  God. 
Christ  died  for  Jerusalem  sinners. 
I  have  loved  thee  with  an  everlasting  love." 
If  you  love  Christ  keep  his  commandments. 
Behold  what  love,  "we  are  the  sons  God." 
Who  will  pray^  ^^More  love  to  thee^  O  Christ  ^^f 
Do  yoa  love  God  f    If  not^  why  not  ? 


•^Qems  of  Ti'hought-^ 


In  love  feel  that  you  owe  so  much  that 
you  cannot  pay  all  at  once;  be  always  pay- 
ing as  you  are  always  owing. 

Tenderness  of  affection  toward  the  most 
abandoned  sinners  is  the  highest  instance 
of  a  godlike  soul. — Law. 

Tell  men  that  God  is  love;  that  right  is 
right,  and  wrong  is  wrong. — Robertson. 

Our  Saviour  places  the  love  of  God  at  the 
head  of  all  morality,  telling  us  that  it  is  "the 
first  and  great  commandment."  St.  Paul 
places  it  at  the  rear,  telling  us  that  "the  end 
of  the  commandment  is  charity."     So,  then, 


it  is  first  and  last,  the  beginning  and  the  end. 
Those  who   love   the   Lord    find    in  our 
hearts  a  home. — Robertson. 

The  devils,  we  are  told,  believe  and  trem- 
ble. Our  part  is  to  believe  and  love.  But 
it  is  hard  to  convince  people  that  nothing 
short  of  this  can  be  true  Christian  faith. — 
Guesses  at  Truth. 
So  when  we  are  weak  and  wretched, 

By  our  sins  weighed  down,  distressed, 
Then  it  is  that  God's  great  patience 
Holds  us  closest,  loves  us  best,

Christ  put  away  sin  by  the  sacrifice  of 
himself,  and  we  have  nothing  more  to  add 
to  that  work ;  we  have  but  to  come  as  vile 
sinners,  just  as  we  are,  and  accept  a  full  sal- 
vation. The  gift  of  God  is  eternal  life, 
and,  if  a  gift,  we  have  not  to  earn  it.  or  pay 
towards  it,  but  to  take  it  because  God  gives 
it.  and  just  as  he  gives  it,  "This  is  the  re- 
cord, that  God  hath  given  to  us  eternal  life, 
and  this  life  is  in  his  Son." 

No  amount  of  sin,  no  depth  of  guilt  of 
which  men  can  be  guilty,  prevents  God  from 
receiving  them,  if  tliey  come  to  him  through 
Christ.  His  blood  has  atoned  for  all  sins, 
and  his  righteousness  will  hide  the  iniquities 
of  all  who  accept  his  offers  of  mercy.

They  that  tarry  long  at  the  wine.  They 
who  taste  the  awful  cup.  At  the  last  it  bit- 
eth  like  a  serpent  and  stingeth  like  an  adder. 
A  drunkard's  hell  must  be  an  horrible  pit  of 
woe.     The  burning  fires  of  an  unconsumed 


conscience  that  remembers  its  own  doom 
and  the  wreck  of  others'  hopes  in  the  crash 
of  character  is  sorrow  born  of  torment. 
Let  us  neither  touch,  taste,  or  handle  the

"Old  Hundred!"  Ah!  there  is  a  tune  that  can  never  be  buried.  Sinner  and  saint 
alike  sing  it  as  the  years  roll  on,  and  they  ever  will.  Is  there  a  saved  sinner  on  earth  that 
has  not  sung  that?     Few;  if  any.     Children  lisp  it;  old  men  rejoice  in  it;  all  love  it. 

THE   GOOD   SEED. 


Almighty  God,  thy  word  is  cast 

Like  seed  upon  the  ground; 
O  let  the  dew  of  heaven  descend, 

And  shed  its  influence  round. 
Let  not  the  foe  of  Christ  and  man 

This  holy  seed  remove  ; 
May  it  take  root  in  every  heart. 

And  grow  in  faith  and  love. 


Let  not  this  life's  deceitful  cares, 

Nor  worldly  wealth  and  joy. 
Nor  scorching  beam,  nor  stormy  blast, 

The  rising  plant  destroy. 
Where'er  the  word  of  life  is  sown, 

A  large  increase  bestow  ; 
That  all  who  hear  thy  message.  Lord, 

Its  saving  power  may  know.

There  is  no  peace  to  the  wicked. 

The  righteous  shall  have  abundance  of  peace. 

There  is  a  false  and  a  true  peace. 

The  Christian's  peace  was  made  at  the  cross. 

Read  John  xiv.  27. 

Have  you  peace— peace  with  God  ? 

Is  it  well  with  thy  soul  ? 


-^•Qems  of  I'hought/sf- 


There  is  a  blessed  peace  in  looking  for 
nothing  but  our  d.iily  task  and  our  portion 
of  Christ's  cross  between  this  day  and  the 
appointed  time  when  we  shall  fall  asleep  in 
hini. — Bishop   Wilberforce. 

It  is  a  great  mercy  to  enjoy  the  Gospel  of 
peace,  but  a  greater  to  enjoy  the  peace  of 
the  Gospel. 

Renounce  all  kinds  of  peace,  till  thou 
hast  found  peace  of  conscience.  Discard 
all  joy,  till  thou  feelest  the  joy  of  the  Holy 
G\iOS.\.—Mede. 


Like  a  river  glorious, 
Is  God's  perfect  peace, 

Over  all  victorious. 
In  its  glad  increase. 

I  asked  for  peace  with  suppliant  knee. 
And  peace  was  given;  not  peace  alone, 
But  love  and  joy  and  ecstasy. 

Peace  upon  peace,  like  wave  upon  wave. 
This  is  the  portion  that  I  crave; 
The  peace  of  God  which  passeth  thought. 
The  peace  of  Christ  which  changeth  not.

Question — To  whom  will  ye  flee  for  help  ? 


-Isa.  X.  3. 


The  question  is  for  the  time  of  trouble, 
and  at  the  grave,  and  before  the  judgment 
seat  of  Christ.     For  we  who  trust  in  the  liv-

and  strength,  a  very  present  help  in  time  of

"  Home,  sweet  home!"  what  a  mighty  chorus  will  take  up  that  song  on  the  other  side. 
Here  they  had  no  home,  they  were  but  pilgrims  and  strangers,  there  they  will  be  "  at 
home."  'Twill  be  rest  forever.  God  knew  it  could  not  be  "  home"  where  there  was  no 
song,  so  abundance  of  music  will  be  found  in  "  our  Father's  house." 


THE   PLACE   OF  PEACE. 


From  every  stormy  wind  that  blows, 
From  every  swelling  tide  of  woes, 
There  is  a  calm,  a  sure  retreat — 
'Tis  found  beneath  the  mercy  seat. 


There  is  a  place  where  Jesus  sheds 
The  oil  of  gladness  on  our  heads, 
A  place  than  all  besides  more  sweet — 
It  is  the  blood-bought  mercy  seat.

Prayer  purchaseth  blessings,  giving  praise 
keeps  the  quiet  possession  of  them. — Fuller. 

The  spirit  of  melancholy  would  often  take

Praise  as  well  as  pray.  If  you  would 
arm  yourselves  for  trouble  and  duty,  re-

his  grace.  Before  they  departed — the  Re- 
deemer to  the  terrible  agony,  the  disciples 
to  the  dreaded  separation — the  last  thing

psal  ms. — Melville. 

The  slender  returns  of  gratitude  which  we 
make  are  many  times  a  formal  ceremony,  a

^'Qems  of  T'houghtrS^- 


The  Gospel  of  the  Grace  of  God  is  no 
org:inized  theory  for  the  reconstruction  of 
society ;  it  is  no  Utopian  dream  for  the  ele- 
vation of  the  human  race;  it  comes  before 
the  world  with  no  high-soundmg  phrases  or 
elaborate  schemes  for  the  bettering  of  man's 
earthly  condition.  It  is  no  philanthropic, 
humanitarian  association  for  the  elevation  of 
the  masses.  It  deals  with  man  as  a  ruined, 
fallen,  dead  creature,  and  seeks  to  bring  each 
individual  one  by  one  under  the  energy  and 
power  of  the  Holy  Spirit. 

It  does  not  elevate,  but  it  transforms;  it 
seeks  not  to  repair,  but  to  renew.      It  has 


Redemption  by  Substitution  as  its  funda- 
mental groundwork,  and  this  substitution  is 
the  action  and  work  of  the  Holy  One,  en- 
tirely apart  from  man  in  every  form  and 
shape. 

Since  God  loved  you  (Johniii.  i6) — since 
Christ  died  for  you  (Rom.  v.  8) — since  the 
blood  that  cleanseth  from  all  sin  has  been 
shed  (i  John  i.  7)  God  offers  now  (2  Cor.  vi. 
2)  a  free,  full,  and  eternal  salvation  from  the 
guilt  and  power  of  sin  to  whosoever  will 
(Rom.  vi.  23;  Heb.  v.  9;  Hcb.  vii.  25; 
Rev.  xxii.  17).

^•Qems  of  I'hought/^-- 


This  world  would  be  a  great  groaning 
machine  if  God  had  not  sent  humor  to  make 
its  wheels  run  smooth,  and  sparkling  wit  by 
which  to  light  a  torch  that  should  guide  a 
thousand  weary  feet  in  right  ways. — Beecher. 

There  is  no  religion  in  making  yourself 
miserable;  God  loves  to  make  poor  sinners 
happy:  in  the  Old  Testament,  lie  bids  you 
delight  yourself  in  the  Lord;  and  promises 
the  desires  of  your  heart.  In  the  New,  he 
says.  '•  Rejoice  in  the  Lord  alway." 

God  did  not  call  you  to  be  canary-birds 


in  a  little  cage,  and  to  hop  up  and  down  on 
three  sticks,  within  a  space  no  larger  than 
the  size  of  the  cage.  God  calls  you  to  be 
eagles,  and  to  fly  from  sun  to  sun,  over  con- 
tinents,— Beecher. 

If  you  know  what  torch  to  light, 
Guiding  others  through  the  night, 
Light  it. 

If  you've  any  debt  to  pay, 
Rest  you  neither  night  nor  day — 
Pay  it.

GRACE. 


Gr.ice!   tls  a  charming  sound. 

Harmonious  to  the  ear; 
Heaven  with  the  echo  shall  resound. 

And  all  the  earth  shall  hear. 
Grace  first  contrived  a  way 

To  save  rebellious  man  ; 
And  all  the  steps  that  grace  display. 

Which  drew  the  wondrous  plan.

To  tread  the  heavenly  road  ; 
And  new  supplies  each  hour  I  meet. 

While  pressing  on  to  God.

Through  everlasting  davs; 
It  lays  in  heaven  the  topmost  stone, 

And  well  deserves  our  praise.

TT'S  a  grand  thing  to  really  love  to  read  and  search  the  dear  old  Bible.  I  want  to  help 
you  to  this  experience.  It  is  such  a  big  book,  we  can  only  take  it  in  bits  (and  that's  the 
way  to  feed,  anyway).  Now,  if  you  are  hungry  at  heart,  just  read  the  Bread  Chapter;  or, 
if  your  feet  are  slipping,  read  the  Rock  Chapter ;  or,  do  you  find  yourself  getting  a  little 
cross,  read  the  Charity  Chapter.  Have  you  had  lots  of  defeats  with  Satan,  read  the  Vic- 
tory Chapter.     Have  you  no  faith,  then  read  Hebrews  xi. 

To  tell  a  young  convert  or  some  inquiring  soul  to  "read  the  Bible"  is  like  sending  a 
patient  into  a  drug  store  with  the  injunction  to  help  himself.  That  won't  do.  Well  put 
prescriptions  are  needed.  You  will  find  some  here,  and  others  may  be  had  by  just  a  little 
study.     May  they  do  you  good.

Training  Cliss  Lessons, 


Lesson   i. 

•     HOW  TO  STUDY  THE  BIBLE  BY 
CHARACTERS. 

First— Know  Jesus,  everything  points 
to  him  from  Genesis  to  Revelations. 
Know  him  as  Redeemer  and  Friend. 

Second— Know  all  the  Bible  says  a- 
bout  the  Holy  Spirit,  then  know  him  as 
Comforter  and  Guide. 

These  two  will  lead  to  the  knowledge 
of  God  the  Father  and  his  attributes. 
"  He  that  hath  seen  Jesus  hath  seen  the 
Father."     Now  begin  the  following: 

Moses — As  starting  points  take  He- 
brews xi.  24  and  25,  then  following  him 
from  Nile  to  Nebo  When  you  spend  a 
month  with  him  and  his  God  your  face 
like  his  will  shine. 

Paul  —  Next  acquaint  yourself  with 
him.  Put  three  "greats"  to  his  name, 
then  begin.  '"  Great  Sinner,"  "  Great 
Apostle,"  "  Great  Writer."  Begin  with 
the  "Saul  of  Tarsus"  chapter,  Acts  ix., 
then  follow  him  till  from  Rome  "he 
climbs  the  marble  stairs  to  the  Palace  of 
the  King."  One  hour  a  day  for  four 
weeks  on  this  name  and  'twill  take  a  ton 
weight  to  keep  you  from  leaping  for  joy. 

John— This  character  will  take  you 
from  where  he  leaned  his  head  on  Jesus' 
breast  to  the  glories  of  Revelation  where 
the  city  of  gold  is  seen  from  Patmos' 
hills.  To  study  John  you  begin  with  the 
gospel  by  him,  chapter  xx.,  verse  31. 
Keep  in  mind  three  things,  love,  believe, 
and  Jesus  the  Son  of  God.  It  is  safe  to 
say  that  never  pen  wrote  like  his,  never. 
That  matchless  chapter  is  beyond  com- 
parison,— ^John  xiv. 

David— To  study  him  you  go  from 
sheep  pastures  through  battle  fields  to 
music  halls  and  earthly  thrones.  David 
takes  you  from  depths  of  sin  to  summits 
of  glory  where  you  behold  in  type  the 
Lord. 

Epaphroditus — The  man  who  nearly 
killed  himself  working  for  Christ. 
Philipi>ians,  chapter  ii. 

Bartimeus — The  man  who  got  up  a 
mighty  Praise  meeting  in  Jericho,  and 
only  a  blind  beggar.     Liike  xviii. 

Daniel— The  man  of  character,  begin 


with  a  study  of  his  converts,  his  friends, 
his  purposes  and  his  trials.  Mark  chap- 
ter xi.  32  and  xii.  3. 

Elijah — The  mighty  prophet. 

Mary — The  one  who  anointed  Christ. 

Joshua — The  soldier. 

The  women  of  the  Bible. 

The  writers  of  the  Bible. 

The  converts  of  the  Bible. 

The  lost  people  of  the  Bible.  Rich 
man,  Jezebel,  etc. 

The  preachers  of  the  Bible.  Noah, 
Jonah,  etc. 

The  prophets  of  the  Bible.  Isaiah, 
Malachi,  etc. 

The  angels  of  the  Bible. 

The  eight  characters — Lost — Revela- 
tions xxi.  8. 

The  four  characters  who  first  saw 
Christ  in  Luke  ii. 

The  converts  of  Paul  in  Acts. 

The  apostates  and  backsliders  of  the 
Bible,  etc.,  etc. 

Lesson  2. 

THE  OFFICE  AND  WORK  OF  THE 
HOLY  SPIRIT. 

The  One  Triune  God— He  the  Third 
Person.  Speak,  think,  and  teach  of  him 
as  a  person  and  not  "it"  or  an  "in- 
fluence," 

Jesus  and  the  Holy  Spirit — Christ  now 
in  heaven  as  advocate.    The  Spirit  here. 

He  convinces  the  world  of  sin,  right- 
eousness and  judgment.  This  we  can- 
not do.     It  is  his  work. 

He  is  the  author  of  the  new  birth,  only 
by  which  we  can  enter  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. 

He  is  the  Comforter — "Another"  Tike 
Jesus,  knowing  us  and  our  surroundings, 
both  past,  present,  and  future.  He  can 
comfort  us  as  no  one  else  can. 

He  gives  wisdom — i  Corinthians  xii.  8. 
This  needed  for  Christian  work.  "We 
need  more  brains."  Many  have  knowl- 
edge but  are  not  wise.  Wisdom  price- 
less. Note  what  the  Bible  says  about 
wisdom. 

He  sheds  abroad  the  love  of  God  in 
our  hearts.  This  the  only  kind  of  love 
that  will  "love  your  enemies"  and  be- 
gets a  desire  for  the  salvation  of  the  lost. 


Temple  Themes-Y

LESSON  3.] 


CHRISTIAN  WORKERS' 


He  guides  into  all  truth— John  xvi.  13. 
Truth  is  God's  instrument  for  salvation. 
He  wrote  the  Scriptures,  hence  can  best 
open  them  to  us.  What  Jesus  did  for 
the  two  disciples  walking  to  Emmaus 
and  to  the  eleven  just  before  his  ascen- 
sion, the  Spirit  will  do  for  us. 

He  helps  mightily  in  prayer — Romans 
viii.  26.  Unction  and  power  in  public  or 
'private  prayer  comes  by  the  Holy  Ghost. 

He  makes  us  "abound  in  hope" — Ro- 
mans XV.  13.  Not  a  little  hope,  but 
boundless  hope.  Hope  in  our  work. 
Hope  in  death. 

He  gives  great  strength  to  the  inner 
man — Ephesians  iii.  16.  This  is  the 
foundation  of  courage  and  perseverance. 

He  gives  Liberty — 2  Corinthians  iii.  17. 
Tongues  united  and  lips  unsealed. 
Thoughts  flow  freely  and  with  power. 

He  gives  assurance  of  salvation — Ro- 
mans viii.  16.  This  needed  to  one  joy- 
ful in  service. 

He  gives  power  to  witness  for  Christ — 
Acts  i.  8.  Not  only  at  home  but  over  the 
whole  world. 

He  reveals  Christ  in  his  fulness,  ad- 
ministers redemption,  sanctifies  the 
heart,  and  dwells  in  our  bodies. 

NOTES   TO   BE    REMEMBERED. 

We  should  pray  more  for  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

He  is  given  to  us  by  God. 
We  should  be  filled  with  the  Spirit. 
We  should  honor  the  Holy  Ghost, 
Don't  work  till  we  get  his  power. 

THE  GREAT   QUESTION. 

"  Have  ye  received  the  Holy  Ghost 
since  ye  believed?" 

Lesson  3. 

HOW  TO  MARK  YOUR  BIBLE. 

Have  one  to  mark,  one  of  your  own, 
one  with  good  print,  marginal  references, 
well  bound  in  silk,  printed  on  rice  paper 
that  will  stand  ink.  One  with  a  text 
book  bound  in  the  back  is  the  best. 

Might  as  well  use  other  people's  hats 
or  shoes  as  to  use  other  people's  Bibles. 
I'd  sell  my  clothes  any  day  to  buy  a  good 
one  if  1  had  none. 

Mark  the  first  page  with  your  name 
and  your  life  text  and  then  add  your 
year  text  as  the  years  come  and  go. 

Make  a  memoranda  of  your  conver- 
sion, and  the  dates  of  great  spiritual 
blessings.  If  some  earnest  prayer  gets 
a  mighty  answer,  make  a  note  of  it,  with 
a  reference  to  the  promise  which  brought 
the  blessing. 

Make  the  promises  stand  out  by  un- 
derlining  them  with   ink.    When  you 


find  a  promise  for  gold  mark  that. 
There  are  hundreds  of  Bible  verses  that 
centre  around  Hag.  ii.  8.  I  always  go 
to  them  when  in  need  of  money,  and  it 
always  comes.  Take  a  promise  like 
Matt.  vii.  7.  and  you  should  mark  it  so 
you  could  find  it  almost  in  the  dark, 
Take  the  prayer  verses,  mark  them  ia 
red.  Know  just  where  they  are  to  bo 
found. 

Every  great  event  in  your  life  ought 
to  be  marked  in  your  Bible.  That's  the 
place  to  put  it;  for  God  by  his  promises 
and  providences  is  working  out  your 
eternal  welfare,  all  for  good  if  you  will 
let  him. 

Mark  the  books  and  the  chapters,  for 
instance,  at  the  beginning  of  Exodus 
write  "  Book  of  Redemption  ;"  over  Jere- 
miah write  "The  Backsliders'  Book;" 
over  James  write  "Work;"  over  the 
eleventh  chapter  of  Hebrews  write 
"Faith  (Chapter ;"  and  Proverbs  xxxiii. 
"Wife's  Chapter,"  and  so  on  till  each 
chapter  and  book  is  well  marked  up. 
When  a  preacher  takes  a  text  and  gives 
you  some  good  thoughts  mark  by  its 
side  date  of  sermon  and  preacher  with 
the  seed  thoughts,  when  you  turn  to  that 
it  will  all  come  back  as  fresh  as  when 
delivered.  Don't  mark  your  Bible  up 
with  poor  sermons,  and  there  are  a 
mighty  lot  of  them  that  we  preachers 
give. 

Take  the  promises  for  grace  and  mark 
them.  Why,  2  Cor.  1-8  is  as  powerful  as 
an  army.  One  promise  like  that  is  bet- 
ter to  trust  in  than  forty  centurian  bands. 

You  want  the  passages  marktd  that 
will  help  you  in  dealing  with  inquiries 
of  every  kind.  Then,  too,  you  want  the 
texts  that  will  help  you  to  help  weak 
and  discouraged  Christians.  When 
souls  come  into  the  light  put  their 
names  in  your  book,  then  when  you  see 
them,  pray  for  them. 

Now  and  then  a  stanza  of  some  hymn 
will  be  so  blessed  to  you  that  you  will 
want  to  copy  it  on  the  blank  pages. 
Have  some  blank  pages  put  in  with 
rubber;  when  full  )^ou  can  take  it  out. 
Also  have  a  place  where  you  can  make 
a  note  of  good  illustrations.  Lastly, 
have  your  own  plan;  but  have  one.  If 
you  don't  make  a  note  of  the  good 
things  they  will  go  from  you.  Put  your 
own  name  alongside  of  the  best  prom- 
ises; mine  is  written  many  times  all 
through  my  Bible;  this  makes  them 
more  personal  to  me,  and  thus  the  Bible 
becomes  a  very  precious  book.  I'd  not 
take  a  thousand  dollars  rash  for  my 
own  Bible.    It's  piiceless.

THE  USE  OF  PROMISES. 

God's  word  is  God's  will. 

The  meaninj?  of  2  Pet.  i.  4. 

Thirty  thousand  promises  that  cover 
every  condition  of  life. 

Some  promises  good  only  for  twenty- 
four  hours,  like  Deut.  xxxiii.  25. 

Others  good  for  time.     Matt.  vi.  ^^. 

Others  good  for  time  and  eternity. 
Rom.  viii.  32. 

Two  classes  of  promises — for  saint  and 
sinner. 

Temporal  promises. 

Spiritual  promises,     i  Tim.  4-8. 

To  love  the  Bible — prove  the  promises. 

Trusting  God's  word  is  trusting  God. 

The  conditions  of  fulfilment. 

Meet  the  conditions — Obedience  and 
faith. 

A  five  dollar  bill  is  as  good  in  the 
hands  of  a  beggar  as  in  the  hands  of  a 
prince. 

Now — all  promises  are  for  the  "Who- 
soever." 

None  to  fail,  Joshua  xxiii.  14,  and 
1  Kings  viii.  55 

Time  when  fulfilled,  not  always  at  once. 

EXAMPLES. 

The  Spirit's  power— 800  years  in  an- 
swering, as  in  Joel  ii.  28,  and  Pentecost. 

It  took  4000  years  to  have  Gen.  iii.  15 
fulfiled. 

God  not  slack  concerning  his  promises 
as  some  men  count  slackness. 

The  promise  in  Joshua  i.  5. 

The  promise  in  Ps.  xxxii.  8  put  me  in 
the  ministry. 

The  promise  in  Ex.  iv.  12  and  its  ful- 
filment.

Lesson   5. 

WORK  EVERY  ONE  CAN  DO. 
God  doesn't  want  any  idle  or  lazy 
Christians  either  here  or  in  heaven. 
Every  saved  sinner  can  be  a  soul  win- 
ner, and  ought  to  be.  Men,  women, 
children,  the  sick  and  well,  weak  or 
strong,  can  do  a  little.  Don't  talk 
louder  than  you  live.  Hypocrites  are 
poor  witnesses.  The  first  person  you 
want  to  help  is — yourself.  The  next 
one  to  help  is  the  nearest  and  most 
needy.  Keep  in  mind  the  two  classes — 
the  saved  and  the  lost.  Help  the  lost 
sinner  first.  Invite  them  to  service;  do 
it  by  word  or  letter,  or  any  good  way. 
Pray  for  them  in  private.  The  power  of 
prayer,  illustrate.  Speak  of  the  meet- 
ings ;  attract  them  there  by  your  i^raiscs. 
Give  a  timely  tract  or  a  good  clipping. 


Work  with  your  scissors  and  pen.  Get 
apt  scripture  passages  and  quote  them. 
Scatter  them  like  wheat  over  the  field. 
Harvest  is  sure  to  follow.  Introduce 
the  unsaved  to  some  one  who  will  better 
tell  them  the  way  of  salvation.  If  you 
can't  run  the  engine  you  can  serve  as 
brakeman.  Go  with  the  inquirer  to  the 
anxious  seat,  altar,  or  inquiry  room. 
Ask  them  to  your  home  and  talk  and 
pray  with  them  there.  Help  make  every 
meeting  you  attend  a  good  one.  In 
public  services  always  be  brief,  both  in 
remarks  and  prayer.  Watch  for  those 
who  in  any  way  manifest  a  desire  for 
salvation,  and  lead  them  to  Jesus  or  to 
some  one  else  who  will.  Live  for  Christ 
in  your  home.  This  is  the  great  need  of 
to-day.  Wash  dishes,  mold  beds,  broil 
steaks,  sell  calico  or  silk  like  a  Christian. 
Keep  sweet,  happy,  and  hopeful.  Be  a 
walking  sermon  ;  don't  growl  with  your 
looks.  Work  as  follows:  —  wives  at 
home,  mothers  with  children,  friends 
with  friends.  If  you  are  sick  show  what 
grace  can  do.  If  you  are  tried  bear  as 
only  a  heaven -helped  man  can.  If  you 
are  in  trouble  let  the  world  see  in  you 
the  peace  of  God  and  the  comfort  of  the 
Holy  Ghost.  Let  employers  pay  as  they 
pray.  Let  em  ployees  give  good  service 
and  work  like  Christians.  Let  love  to 
God  and  man  flow  out  in  every  act  and 
word.  Lead  the  children  to  Christ. 
This  all  can  do.  Keep  away  from 
doubtful  things  and  thus  help  your 
weak  brother.  Ask  God  to  direct  you 
to  work,  and  he  will  do  it  inside  of 
torty-eight  hours.  Don't  quit  work  till 
the  breath  quits  the  body.  Then  begin 
service  on  the  other  side— in  heaven. 

FOUR    GREAT    PROMISES. 

Ex.  iv.  12;  Is.  xli.  10;  Josh.  i.  5-9,  and 
2  Chron.  xv.  7. 

Lesson  6. 

HOW  TO  STUDY  THE  BIBLE  BY 
TOPICS. 

Just  study  Salvation,  That's  the  first 
thing  a  man  wants  to  know  about.  Who 
gives  it?  To  whom  it  is  given.  How  it 
is  gotten.  What  it  is  when  we  get  it. 
What  it  does  for  a  sinner.  A  study  of 
David's  life  will  give  it;  also  that  of 
Peter.  Begin  with  Is.  xii.  3,  and  end 
with  Judges  xxiv.  See  what  it  saves 
from  and  what  it  saves  to  Look  at  the 
things  that  represent  it,  like  rock,  tower, 
helmet,  lamp,  etc.  Close  by  taking  a 
heavy  portion  for  vour  heavy  heart. 

Then  look  up  all  the  Bible  says  abotit 
Praise.  This  will  set  the  dumb  man 
singing.     Samuel  and   Psalms  are  food 


83 


Lesson  7.] 


CHRISTIAN  WORKERS' 


books  for  this.  Follow  this  with  the 
study  of  The  Blood.  Begin  with  the 
Passover  and  end  with  Calvary.  Get 
God's  estimate  of  it.  Then  apply  it  to 
your  sin-burdened  heart.  John  xix.  34, 
and  Eph.  i.  7. 

Little  things.  —  Go  through  the 
B  )ok  and  find  all  the  little  things  that 
God  speaks  about,  and  how  he  used 
them.  As,  for  instance,  the  rod  in  .Mo- 
ses' hand,  a  cup  of  cold  water,  the  nap- 
kin in  Christ's  grave,  etc.  Then  take 
the  WEAK  THINGS,  and  see  what  mighty 
works  have  been  wrought  by  them.  Be- 
gin with  I  Cor.  i.  27-30,  and  look  both 
back  and  forward. 

The  DOCTRINES.  —  Take  the  seven 
great  doctrines  of  the  Bible — God,  man, 
sin,  redemption,  justification,  regenera- 
tion, and  sanctification.  Give  these  all 
a  full  and  complete  research,  and  you 
will  come  out  a  regular  theologian  and 
strong  Christian. 

The  way  to  study  the  Bible  by  topics 
is  to  study  it  so.  Take  any  one  great 
theme  and  study  it.  I  like  the  follow- 
ing: Love,  joy,  grace,  light,  prayer,  obe- 
dience, faith,  power.  Holy  Spirit,  truth, 
wisdom,  able,  punishment,  heaven,  re- 
ward, mercy,  humility,  angels,  and  a 
hundred  more. 

Take  a  great  topic  like  Assurance, 
and  search  what  the  Book  teaches  on 
that  subject,  find  the  "We  knows"  of 
Romans  and  i  John.  See  who  in  the 
Bible  knew  they  had  passed  frem  death 
unto  life.  Yet  what  is  written  on  it  from 
Genesis  all  the  way  down.  Don't  close 
the  study  till  in  prayer  both  the  Bible 
and  the  Spirit  witness  to  the  fact  that 
you  are  "  born  again  from  above." 

Lesson  7. 

THE  WORKER  AND  HIS  GOD. 

We  must  never  forget  the  following 
all  important  truths.  They  are  the  rock 
upon  which  we  build  our  hopes.  They 
underlie  all  other  themes.  They  are  the 
pillars  of  our  temple. 

First,  we  are  co-laborers  with  God. 
Second,  his  omnipotent  power  is  ours 
for  service.  Third,  we  do  the  work,  he 
gives  the  increase.  Fourth,  God  is  our 
Father,  Jesus  is  our  Advocate,  and  the 
Holy  Spirit  is  always  with  us.  Fifth, 
with  God  we  can  never  fail.  Sixth,  his 
Word  stands  for  himself  Seventh,  the 
final  result — the  world  for  Christ.  God 
and  man  co-laborers. — Matt.  xi.  28-30, 
Christ's  yoke;  Acts  xv.  4,  all  things  that 
God  had  done  with  them ;  i  Cor.  iii.  9, 
laborers  together  with  God.  The  dream- 
ers.    The  wishers.    "  Do  much  and  say 


little  "  family.  "  Do  little  and  say  much  " 
family.  "  Four  pints  to  a  quart."  Om- 
nipotent power — Acts  i.  8,  witnesses  to 
the  world.  Begin  at  home.  As  much 
power  will  be  given  us  as  we  can  use. 
The  character  of  this  power— Can  save 
by  few  or  many,  1  Sam.  xiv.  6.  Is  the 
source  of  all  strength,  i  Cliron.  xxix.  12. 
Ail  things  are  possible.  Matt.  xix.  26. 
"  Shoes  or  no  shoes— hallelujah  !"  Work 
and  increase:  r  Cor.  iii.  6.  All  the  in- 
crease is  of  God.  This  will  help  to  keep 
us  humble.  None  can  say,  "  I  did  it." 
hence  boasting  is  in  vain.  Note — that  if 
we  want  any  increase  one  must  plant 
and  another  water,  or  else  God  will  not 
give  the  increase.  The  Triune  God : 
"Our"  Father  makes  Jesus  our  brother. 
The  fatherhood  of  God  —  we  children. 
Jesus  our  advocate  in  heaven.  "Moody 
and  his  brother  George."  Let  him  in. 
The  Holy  Ghost,  now  here,  adminis- 
trator of  redemption.  His  power  our 
power.  His  wisdom  our  wisdom.  He 
reveals  Christ.  He  guides  into  all  truth. 
Makes  our  tongues  "tongues  of  fire." 
"  Hump. back — black  girl."  No  failures: 
We  are  afraid  of  making  mistakes  and 
failures.  Mistakes  keep  us  humble.  No 
man  ever  failed  whom  God  sent.  See 
Moses  in  Egypt.  Gideon  and  the  Mid- 
ianites.  Feeding  the  hungry.  Matt.  xix. 
15-21.  God's  word  and  himself:  No  Bi- 
ble— no  God.  See  Matt.  iv.  4  and  Deut. 
viii.  3.  The  more  Bible — the  more  God. 
Study  the  Bible  as  often  as  you  eat. 
God  is  never  absent  from  his  Word. 
The  final  result:  Dan.  ii.  44  and  vii.  13, 
14,  "All  people  and  nations  shall  serve 
Christ,"  "of  his  kingdom  there  shall  be 
no  end."     Luke  i.  33. 

Lesson  8. 

THE  POWER  OF  FAITH  AND  PRAYER. 
In  these  two  the  worker  will  find  the 
mightiest  human  forces.  They  are  the 
double  steam  engines  of  all  Christian 
workshops.  Prevailing  prayer,  or  the 
prayer  of  faith,  makes  one  in  part  om- 
nipotent. James  v  16.  Faith  is  taking 
God  at  his  word  and  asking  no  ques- 
tions. Faith  always  rests  upon  the  im- 
perishable Word  of  God.  The  more 
simple  faith  is  the  more  powerful  it  is. 
.\11  things  are  possible  to  the  man  of 
mighty  faith  and  persistent  prayer. 
What  faith  and  prayer  have  done  is  an 
evidence  of  what  they  will  do.  Exam- 
ples: Elijah  shut  up  the  heavens  for 
three  years  and  a  half.  The  walls  of 
Jericho  fell  down  for  Joshua.  Daniel's 
three  friends  delivered  in  the  fire  Mo- 
ses and  the  Hebrews  saved  from  Egypt.

TRAINING  CLASS  LESSONS. 


[Lesson  io. 


Brought  an  angel  and  delivered  Peter; 
Acts  xii.  Saved  Jehoshaphat  and  his 
people  ;  2  Chron.  xx.  Slew  i85,o(X)  As- 
syrians for  Hezekiah;  2  Kings  xix. 

These  from  the  Bible— We  also  get 
help  from  each  other's  victories.  For 
your  help  in  studying  these  two  great 
subjects  let  me  append  an  outline. 

Prayer.— Look  up  in  the  Bible  (and 
elsewhere)  all  about  earnest  prayer,  per- 
sistent prayer,  prevailing  prayer,  im- 
portunate prayer.  The  prayer  of  faith. 
The  prayers  of  the  righteous.  The 
prayers  of  the  wicked.  The  publican's 
prayer.  Our  Lord's  prayer.  The  Prayer 
Chapter,  John  xvii.  Prayers  answered 
and  not  answered  in  the  Bible.  How 
prayer  is  to  be  offered.  What  to  pray 
for.  Bible  rules  for  praying  by  precept 
and  example.  Repetition  and  ostenta- 
tion in  prayer.  Keep  in  mind  that 
praver  is  based  on  the  fatherhood  of 
God. 

Faith— To  study  this  find  in  the  Bi- 
ble its  definition  How  it  comes.  Who 
had  it.  What  are  its  possibilities.  Its 
relation  to  God  and  his  Word.  What  it 
has  done.  What  is  promised  by  God 
that  it  will  do.  Who  can  have  it.  Note 
specially  what  faith  receives.  Search 
every  written  word  Christ  said  of  it. 
Faith,  trust,  and  belief  are  blood  rela- 
tions. No  Christian  can  either  live  or 
work  without  faith  and  prayer. 

Lesson  9. 

HOW  TO  RAISE  MONEY  FOR 
CHRISTIAN  WORK. 

Every  one  has  as  much  right  to  pray 
for  gold  as  for  grace.  Two  things  at 
least  are  needed  to  carry  on  Christian 
work,  grace  and  gold,  and  God  will  give 
both  if  you  ask  him  in  the  right  way. 
To  get  grace  you  go  direct  to  God,  and 
it  is  given  to  us  by  Jesus  Christ  through 
faith  by  the  Holy  Ghost.  That's  the 
way  to  get  grace.  With  gold  it's  differ- 
ent. You  go  to  God  for  it,  and  he  gives 
it  by  his  providences  and  his  people. 
A  great  many  people  never  pray  for  gold 
in  their  Christian  work.  This  is  wrong. 
Men  think  they  own  the  purse  and  hold 
its  strings,  but  Hag.  ii.  8  of  the  Bible 
says  not  so.  A  spiritual  church  will 
never  lack  for  funds.  Now,  to  raise 
money  for  any  needed  work  you 

First.  Find  what  the  Bible  says  about 
temporal  blessings.  Search  out  the 
promises  that  bear  that  way.  Mark  the 
words  of  the  book  that  teach  about  giv- 
ing, like  Prov.  xi.  24,  25,  Ex.  xxv.  and 
xx.w.,  2  Cor.  ix.  6,  7,  Luke  vi.  38,  and 
many  more.     See  what  stress  God  lays 


on  the  provisions  for  carrying  on  his 
work  here.  Paul's  great  Resurrection 
Chapter  is  followed  immediately  by  these 
words,  "Now  concerning  the  collection." 

Second.  Give  yourselves;  don't  ask 
others  to  give  'till  you  have  gone  down 
in  your  own  pocket,  and  it  is  better  to 
put  in  your  share  before  prayers.  One 
of  the  biggest  collections  in  the  Script- 
ures is  told  of  in  i  Chron.  xxix.  There 
you  get  the  order  of  giving. 

Third  Get  people  to  have  a  con- 
science on  the  matter.  Touch  a  man's 
conscience  and  you  have  his  open  purse. 
People  need  education  on  this  line. 

Fourth.  When  you  have  asked  God 
for  money,  go  to  his  people  and  get  it. 
Use  tact  in  going,  as  follows:  A — Ask 
for  and  expect  big  things.  B  -  Don't  be 
afraid ;  you  are  on  the  King's  business. 
C — Have  a  good  cause  to  present  or 
don't  go.  D— Size  up  your  man.  E — 
Better  see  him  when  he  has  had  a  good 
dinner.  F — See  him  alone  and  when  he 
can  give  you  a  hearing.  G — Don't  think 
that  "  no  "  always  means  a  refusal.  H — 
State  your  case  tersely  and  tenderly. 
I — Don't  use  undue  haste;  a  day  may 
double  the  amount.  J — Don't  get  tired. 
K — Don't  get  discouraged. 

Fifth.  Put  great  trust  in  Ps.  Ixxxi.  10. 
Write  your  needs  alongside  of  promises, 
as  in  Ps.  xxxvii.  3-5. 

Sixth.  Don't  lean'on  the  rich.  Mites 
can  make  millions,  and  poor  people,  as 
a  rule,  are  the  best  givers. 

Seventh.  Note  the  plans  used  by  dif- 
ferent men — George  Muller,  of  Bristol, 
England.  Mr.  Kimball,  and  others. 

Eighth.  Suggestions:  Let  preachers 
beg  less  and  preach  the  gospel  of  giving 
more;  don't  scold,  but  reason  and  per- 
suade folks  who  give  little  or  nothing; 
teach  systematic  giving,  like  "Thanks- 
givings Ann;"  doubt  the  conversion  of 
the  church  members  who  don't  give; 
don't  touch  blood -money  or  unholy 
gains;  see  the  evil  of  church  fairs,  festi- 
vals, or  the  like  for  money-making;  it 
educates  the  young  in  the  wrong  way. 
Note  the  difference  between  "wants" 
and  "needs"  in  Phil.  iv.  19. 

Lesson   10. 

HOW  TO  DETERMINE  ONE'S  FIELD 
OF  WORK. 

God  leaves  no  Christian  without  some 
definite  work.  Our  work  here  deter- 
mines our  reward  hereafter.  In  each 
field  faithfulness  is  required,  not  suc- 
cess. Our  work  should  be  determined 
by  God's  will  and  not  our  choice  alone. 
How  his  will  may  be  known :

Lesson  n.] 


CHRISTIAN  WORKERS' 


First — By  his  specific  and  direct  call 
of  the  Holy  Spirit. 

Second  —  By  his  call  through  the 
Church. 

Third — By  his  Word,  which  is  his  will. 

Fourth — By  his  special  providences. 

Fifth — By  his  gift  of  talents. 

Sixth — By  his  birthright  of  sex  and 
blood. 

Seventh — By  his  gift  to  us  of  reason 
and  judgment. 

All  work  of  a  Christian  should  be 
Christian  work.  Ability  often  deter- 
mines,— no  blockheads  for  preachers  or 
teachers.  Birth  and  blood  often  fixes 
position.  Hodcarriers  and  philosophers 
both  wanted.  Faithfulness  and  fruit  in 
one  place  may  bring  promotion.  A 
wife's  "call "  is  to  love  and  help  husband 
and  home.  A  mother's  field  is  her  chil- 
dren and  home.  "To  every  one  his 
work  "  means 

a — Some  for  preachers. 

b — Others  for  missionary  fields. 

c — Some  to  make  money. 

d— Others  to  spend  it. 

e— Some  to  be  masters. 

f— Others  to  serve. 

g — Some  as  teachers. 

h — Others  as  scholars. 

i — Some  for  the  pulpit. 

j — Many  for  the  pew. 

"Opportunity"  is  God's  mighty  voice 
saying,  "  I  want  you."  Take  a  view  of 
the  whole  world,  see  where  you  can  fit  in 
— there  work,  win,  and  die.  Be  guided 
by  these  three — the  Holy  Spirit,  prom- 
ises, and  providences.  God  never  wants 
any  one  in  two  places  at  the  same  time. 
Patient  waiting  is  often  one's  work. 
Time  and  prayer  and  providences  make 
the  field  we  are  to  fill  very  plain.  The 
following  may  mislead  us:  i.  Love  of 
money.  2.  Desire  for  honor  and  praise. 
3.  Popularity.  4.  Ease,  pleasure,  and 
power.  5.  Egotism.  6.  Success  of  oth- 
ers.    7.  A  lack  of  knowledge  of  self. 

Suggestions :  Finish  the  work  in  hand. 
Do  the  things  right  about  you.  Some 
are  sowers  and  some  are  reapers.  Read 
1  Cor  xii.  Finally,  get  all  the  light  you 
can  from  every  source;  then  you  settle 
your  life-work  with  prayer  and  your 
own  heart. 

Lesson   11. 

HOW  TO  LOVE  YOUR  BIBLE. 

First,  know  it.  You  can't  love  any- 
thing you  don't  know.  Like  good  peo- 
ple, the  better  you  know  them  the  better 
you  love  them.  It  is  the  voice  of  God 
to  his  people,  "  Lost   men,  this  way  to 


safety!"  Boy  lost  in  fog;  his  father's 
voice,  "Steer  this  way!"  The  whole 
book  was  written  for  vou.  Mark  care- 
fully 2  Tim.  iii.  16.  It  is  either  the  Bi- 
ble or  nothing,  for  God  is  only  known  in 
love,  mercy,  and  justice  by  revelation 
either  in  his  Word  or  Jesus,  his  Incarnate 
Son  or  by  his  Spirit's  presence.  Simply 
reading  it  will  not  give  its  sweetness  any 
more  than  looking  at  a  man  will  reveal 
his  character.  It  must  be  searched  and 
studied  to  be  loved. 

Second,  use  it.  We  love  the  things 
that  serve  us  well.  That  which  is  of  the 
greatest  service  is  of  the  greatest  value. 
The  Bible  is  eyes  to  the  blind,  ears  to  the 
deaf,  sword  to  the  soldier,  water  to  the 
thirsty,  chart  to  the  mariner,  etc.  It  is 
ever  ready,  ever  faithful,  ever  powerful. 
None  can  appeal  to  it  in  vain  for  truth. 

Third,  prove  it.  "A  friend  in  need 
is  a  friend  indeed."  The  "  Proven  prom- 
ises "  of  the  Bible.  Little  faith  people, 
prove  Mark  xi.  23.  Stingy  people,  prove 
Luke  vi.  38.  Business  men,  prove  Matt, 
vi.  33.  Sinful  men,  prove  Isa.  i.  18,  19. 
Troubled  people,  prove  Ps.  xxxiv.  17. 
Let  judges  prove  Deut.  i.  17.  Let  back- 
sliders prove  Deut.  iv.  29-31.  Hungry 
and  homeless,  prove  Deut.  viii.  79. 
Young  people,  prove  Ps.  Ixxxiv.  11. 
Storm  driven  men,  prove  Isa.  xxv.  4. 
Mr.  Great  Desire,  prove  Isa.  Ixiv.  4. 
Poor  and  needy,  prove  Isa.  xli.  17.  Mrs. 
Very  Anxious,  prove  Ezek.  xxxiv.  25. 
Mr.  Bad  Heart,  prove  Ezek.  xxxvi.  2^-28. 
Mr.  Many  Wants,  prove  Mai.  iii.  10. 
If  afraid  of  death  prove  i  Cor.  xv.  55-57. 
Everybody  prove  Heb.  vii.  25.  Every 
sinner  prove  i  Pet.  ii.  24. 

Love  the  old  Testament  because  of  its 
promises  and  telling  of  Jesus.  Its  the 
only  book  that  explains  the  grave  and 
immortality.  Should  the  bride  love  the 
letters  of  her  absent  bridegroom  ? — 
"Christ  in  heaven."  Does  one  love  the 
will  which  bequeaths  to  them  fortune 
upon  fortune.  Shall  the  one  who  is  pur- 
sued by  the  avenger  have  no  thought  or 
love  or  care  for  the  sign  posts  that  point 
the  way  to  the  City  of  Refuge  ?  Shall  we 
not  love  the  only  writing  that  tells 
where  our  jewels  are  hid. — "Baby  in 
Heaven."  Shall  we  carefully  guard  the 
medicine  the  Great  Physician  has  left  for 
souls  sick  unto  death  with  sin. — 2  Pet.  i.  4. 
Shall  "  Mother's  Bible  "  have  none  of  our 
love?  It  is  more  to  us  than  was  the  Ark 
of  the  Covenant  to  the  Israelites  of  old. 
The  Bible  is  all  to  us  that  the  pillar  of 
cloud  and  fire  was  to  the  pilgrims  to 
Canaan.

THINGS  TO  KNOW. 
Your  own  mind  and  heart  must  fully 
grasp  the  following  facts,  all  of  which  are 
clearlv  taught  in  the  Bible  : — That  outside 
of  Christ  there  is  no  salvation.— Acts.  iv. 
12.  That  all  have  sinned  and  come 
short  of  the  glory  of  God.— Isa.  liii.  6. 
That  God  commands  men  at  all  times 
and  everywhere  to  repent  and  turn  unto 
hiin  —.Acts  xvii.  30.  That  the  Holy  Ghost 
convinces  the  world  of  sin.— John  .xvi.S.g. 
That  To  u.W  is  the  day  of  salvation. — 
Heb.  iii.  15.  That  none  ever  come  unto 
Christ  and  are  cast  out. — John  vi  t,-j.  That 
none  can  enter  the  kingdom  of  heaven  un- 
less born  again  of  the  Holy  Spirit  by  the 
word  of  God.— John  iii.  5  -8.  That  saving 
laith  is  when  the  heart  clings  to  the  object 
of  its  trust  — Christ. — Isa.  xii.  2.  That 
faith  and  not  feeling  is  the  condition  of 
salvation. — Eph.ii  8,9.  That  repentance 
means  turning  from  sin  and  making  res- 
titution when  necessary. — Prov.-vxviii.  13. 
That  the  bio  id  of  Christ  makes  atonement 
and  not  good  works. — Lev.  xvii  11 ;  Eph. 
i.  7.  That  he  that  believeth  is  not  con- 
demned, but  he  that  believeth  not  is 
condemned  already.— John  iii.  18.  That 
it  is  faith  in  Christ,  not  in  a  creed,  that 
saves. — .Acts.  xvi.  31.  That  assurance  of 
salvation  is  by  God's  Word  and  his 
Spirit  and  the  fruit  thereof. — ^John  xx.  31 ; 
Rom.  viii.  16;  Matt.  vii.  20.  That  obedi- 
ence and  blessing  always  go  together. — 
Isa.  i.  14.  That  the  Bible  is  man's  only 
guide  for  rule  and  practice. — Joshua  i. 
8, 9.  That  we  are  hastening  to  the  judg- 
ment day  when  the  redeemed  shall  pass 
to  their  eternal  reward,  and  the  impeni- 
tent to  their  eternal  punishment. — Matt. 
XXV.  46.  That  there  is  no  escape  from 
death  and  no  salvation  in  hell. — Rev.  xx. 
1*4.15.  "That  all  who  repent  of  their 
sins  and  believe  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
receive  the  forgiveness  of  sin,  which  is 
Justification.  And  that  all  who  receive 
the  forgiveness  of  sin  are  immediately 
made  by  the  Spirit  new  creatures  in 
Christ  Jesus,  which  is  Regeneration. 
That  all  who  are  thus  born  again  are 
called  the  children  of  (iod,  which  is  A- 
d'ption ;  and  all  who  are  adopted  may 
have  the  witness  of  the  Holy  Spirit. 
That  all  who  truly  and  earnestly  desire 
and  seek  it  may  love  God  with  all  their 
heart  and  soul  and  mind  and  strength, 
and  their  neighbors  as  themselves,  which 
is  Sanctification. 

Lesson   13. 

HOW  TO  LOCATE  SCRIPTURE  TEXTS. 
The  Bible  is  God's  storehouse.     It  is  h 


big  one ;  has  numberless  rooms,  all  filled 
with  bins  that  are  heaped  to  the  full 
with  good  seed.  It  is  not  all  the  same 
kind,  but  it  is  all  good.  Where  to  find 
what  you  want  is  the  question  When  a 
farmer  wants  to  plant  corn,  he  does  not 
go  to  the  bin  of  wheat,  nor  to  the  barley 
sack  when  he  would  sow  rye.  So  with 
the  promises,  if  you  want  to  reap  joy 
you  get  that  kind  of  seed  verses.  If 
you  want  grace  you  go  to  the  Scriptures 
that  promise  just  that,  like  2  Cor.  ix.  8. 
I  find  it  very  helpful  to  lay  my  finger 
right  on  the  verse  that  will  cover  the 
need.  A  five  dollar  bill  will  stand  one 
in  hand  right  well  if  he  is  hungry  and 
near  a  restaurant,  but  though  he  has  it 
yet  can't  lay  his  hands  on  it  because  it  is 
lost  on  his  person  or  in  his  room,  of  what 
value  is  it  to  him?  Now  thousands  of 
souls  go  hungry  because  these  promises, 
which  are  exchangable  for  bread,  are  lost, 
— lost  here  in  the  Book.  How  shall  we 
find  them?  How  locate  them  so  that 
when  we  are  in  need  they  can  be  used 
at  a  moment's  notice?  I  tell  you. 
friends,  if  you  dont  use  the  promises  of 
God  you  will  never  know  their  value. 
You  will  never  love  the  Bible.  Gold  as 
gold,  is  worth  but  little,  it  is  only  when 
it  is  exchanged  for  our  necessities  that 
we  get  to  see  how  good  it  is.  So  with 
the  Word  of  God. 

Some  say  they  can't  locate  these  prom- 
ises ;  now  that  is  not  so,  they  can.  Put 
them  in  as  salesmen  and  they  will  soon 
find  where  the  goods  are  kept  in  the 
store.  Just  the  way  a  clerk  locates  the 
wares  of  a  shop,  so  locate  scripture 
passages.  Here  comes  a  customer,  he 
wants  "encouragement  in  christian 
work."  You  take  him  over  to  the  Psalm 
room,  first  bin,  third  shelf,  "  And  he 
shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by  the  rivers 
of  water,  that  bringeth  forth  his  fruit  in 
his  season,  his  leaf  also  shall  not  wither, 
and  whatsoever  he  doelh  shall  prosper." 
Now  you  send  him  away  with  plenty  of 
goods  like  that  and  he  will  soon  set  up 
business  for  himself.  Take  a  good  wife 
and  she  knows  just  where  every  thing  is 
kept  in  the  house.  She  doesn  t  go  look- 
ing for  linen  in  the  refrigerator  or  search- 
ing for  china  in  the  clothes  closet.  Why, 
bless  your  heart,  she  can  find  the  shcef$ 
and  pillow  cases  in  the  dark/  Now,  i^ 
the  same  way  a  good  Christian  ought  tc^ 
know  where  to  find  the  promises.  Whn't 
is  the  use  of  looking  in  ^Jeremiah,  the 
book  of  backslidihgs.  for  the  promise, 
'  Peace  I  leave  with  you,  my  peace  I  give 
unto  you — let  not  your  heart  be  troubled, 
neither  let  it  be  afraid."     It  is  not  there,

Lesson  14.] 


CHRISTIAN    WORKERS' 


John  xiv.  27  has  that.  Often  I  see  Chris- 
tians searching  in  the  Old  Testament  for 
Hebrews,  or  looking  towards  the  end  of 
the  Bible  for  Leviticus, — might  as  well 
look  for  New  York  on  the  Pacific  coast. 
Have  one  Bible  that  you  use  and 
mark,  that  will  help  a  great  deal.  I  feel 
lost  in  work  without  this  Bible  I've  used 
for  ten  years;  why,  some  promises  I 
could  find  in  the  dark,  almost, — I  know 
just  where  they  lay,  (take  Joshua  i.  5, 8, 9,) 
and  they  are  as  clear  to  me  at  midnight 
as  midday.  Others  I  mark  in  blue  and 
red,  that  makes  them  stand  out  on  the 
page,  so  I  know  where  to  find  them. 
Another  way  is  to  locate  the  verses  that 
are  alike,  as  in  Isaiah.  The  eleventh 
verses,  that  is,  the  eleventh  verses  of  cer- 
tain chapters,  begin  with  chapter  xxi. 
then  go  to  the  fortieth  and  forty-first, 
by  the  time  you  get  to  the  forty-second 
you  too  will  shout.  Then  read  the  forty- 
third,  with  the  fifty-first,  fifty-fifth  and 
fifty-eighth,  and  the  chances  are  you 
will  rejoice  like  a  Methodist.  Take  the 
three  3-i6ths  of  the  Bible,  it  is  easy  to 
remember  that,  Malachi  iii.  16,  John  iii. 
16,  Ephesians  iii.  16,  and  you  have  what 
every  Christian  ought  to  do,  first,  to  speak 
often,  second,  what  to  speak  about,  and 
third,  strength  to  speak.  The  great 
trouble  will  be  in  wanting  to  do  too  much 
at  once.  Build  Rome  in  a  day?  it  can't  be 
done.  It  is  one  at  a  time;  you  can't  win 
in  this  race  with  a  spurt;  slow  and  sure 
is  the  only  way  of  winning.  Get  in  your 
mind  the  great  chapters  of  the  Bible, 
that  will  help  you.  Take  that  last  cliap- 
ter  I  just  named  which  is  the  bottomless 
chapter  of  the  Bible,  once  get  the  twen- 
tieth verse  in  your  mind  and  it  will 
never  leave  you.  The  Holy  Spirit  has 
brought  that  to  me  I  suppose  a  thousand 
times  in  prayer  and  work.  Dig  out  the 
l)romises  in  the  eightii  of  Romans;  who 
that  has  proved  and  marked  them  can 
ever  forget  verses  18,  28,  31  and  32.  You 
might  as  well  try  to  blot  out  Jupiter  from 
the  sky  as  to  erase  Psalm  xxxii.  8  from 
my  memory.  Glorious  things  of  that 
promise  I  could  tell.  When  I  want 
money,  I  go  to  the  money  promises  of 
the  Book,  and  never  yet  have  I  been 
disappointed.  Oh,  you  that  must  raise 
funds  for  God's  work,  why  dont  you 
pray  more  and  prove  the  promises?  You 
would  have  both  less  of  worry  and  work. 
You  will  find  that  Christ  knew  where  to 
find  the  Scripture  he  wanted.  That  is 
proven  in  Luke  iv.  17.  So  did  Peter  on 
the  day  of  Pentecost.  In  fact  every  one 
that  God  has  used  to  any  great  degree, 
)cnew  his  Word,  knew  it  well.    Oh,  may 


the  Spirit  of  wisdom  be  given  us  as 
promised  in  James  i.  5,  till  hundreds, 
yes,  even  thousands  of  the  mighty  prom- 
ises of  our  God  shall  be  known  by  us, 
both  in  location,  in  mind,  and  better 
than  all,  in  "fulfilment." 

Lesson   \\. 

SCRIPTURE  FOR  CHRISTIAN 
WORKERS. 

Begin  with  the  last  half  of  Zech  iv.  6. 
There  is  but  little  power  in  you,  but  om- 
nipotent power  in  God.  Then  take  Isa. 
Iviii.  II.  That  will  guide  yo-u  as  well  as 
give  strength.  So  as  not  to  grow  luke- 
warm or  cold,  mark  the  "  Duty  or  Blood  " 
verse  in  Ezek.  xxxiii.  8.  John  xv.  16  as- 
sures one  of  his  position  and  work.  With 
this  study  Mark  xvi.  15.  which  is  the 
Master's  parting  commission.  When  the 
day  of  battle  comes  have  ready  i  Cor. 
XV.  57  and  Zech.  x.  5.  For  courage  and 
help  be  sure  to  read  Isa.  xli.  10.  The 
following  verses  need  a  month's  medita- 
tion, Deut.  vi.  6,  7.  In  the  same  book, 
chapter  eight,  mark  verses  7  to  9.  All 
theology  centres  around  Lev.  xvii.  11. 
The  following  "twentieth"  chapters  are 
especially  for  you  —  Exodus,  Deuter- 
onomy, 2  Chronicles,  Psalms,  Jeremiah, 
John,  and  Revelation.  No  worker  should 
miss  the  second  chapter  of  Joel. 

The  following  texts,  often  named, 
should  be  marked  in  red:  Ps.  xxxii.  8 
and  Ixxxi.  10;  Dan.  xii.  3  and  xi.  32; 
2  Cor.  ix.  8  with  Jude  xxiv. ;  Joshua  i.  5, 
8,  9  with  Jer.  xxxii,  17;  John  xv.  7  with 
Matt.  vii.  7;  Eph.  iii.  20  with  Isa.  Ixiv.  4; 
John  v.  24  with  Ps.  xxxvii.3-5;  Luke  xix. 
10  with  Rev.  xxii.  17;  Rom.  viii  28,  32,  yj 
with  2  Cor.  V.  i,  and  last  and  best  of  all, 
Heb.  ix.  14  with  Rev.  xxi.  7. 

These  but  give  an  inkling  of  what  God 
has  in  his  Word  for  you.  There  are 
marked  in  my  Bible  fully  two  thousand 
passages  that  at  one  time  or  another  I 
have  profited  by  personally. 

Prov.  xiii.  22  lets  in  a  stream  of  light 
on  the  reason  why  so  many  bad  men  get 
rich,  and  what  shall  become  of  their 
money.  I  reckon  it's  a  mighty  good 
thing  to  let  them  make  the  fortune  and 
we  to  spend  it. — That's  a  new  thought 
to  me,  but  as  God  says  it's  so  I  just  take 
him  at  his  word.  So  you.  young  men, 
that  propose  to  lie,  and  cheat,  and  steal, 
and  plan  with  Satan  to  make  shekels  by 
fair  or  foul,  go  on,  wade  in,  push  and 
pull  till  widows  cry  and  the  poor  grow 
hungry  because  of  the  wages  you  pay, 
but  on  the  margin  of  your  bank  book 
write,  "the  wealth  of  the  sinner  is  laid 
up  for  the  just."    We  shall  walk  in  with

our  empty  baskets  and  some  day  come 
from  your  store  full.  There  are  tliou- 
sands  of  young  men  who  to-day  will  find 
it  to  their  advantage  to  take  a  step  back- 
ward and  make  the  first  half  of  this 
prophetic  verse  true  rather  than  the  last. 
Remember  heaven  and  earth  will  pass 
away  before  a  jot  or  a  tittle  of  what  is 
there  written. 

Lesson   15. 

SCRIPTURE  FOR  INQUIRERS, 

A  /c-u>  well  chosen  passages  are  much 
better  than  many.  For  those  who  anx- 
iously ask. 

WHAT   MUST   I    DO   TO    BE   SAVED? 

John  iii.  16,  x.  9  with  John  iii.  36  and  v. 
2|.  If  others  are  needed,  have  ready 
Eph.  i.  7 ;  Isa.  liii.  6;  Rom.  x,  9,  10;  John 
i.  12,  29. 

FOR    THE    BACKSLIDER. 

And,  alas,  there  are  too  many,  but  God 
in  his  infinite  mercy  has  gracious  words 
for  them.  Search  the  prophecy  of  Jere- 
miah for  the  words  to  this  class,  espec- 
ially mark  chapter  ii.  19  and  iii.  13,  14; 
also  Hosea  xiv.  4  with  Isa.  i.  16-18. 

FOR   THE  "GOOD    ENOUGHS." 

For  there  are  many  who  feel  no  need 
of  a  Saviour,  or  say  they  feel  no  need. 
These  must  be  shown  their  lost  condition 
and  sinfulness  before  God.  The  four- 
teenth Psalm  is  most  helpful,  with  the 
following  passages:  Rom.  iii.  10,  23; 
I  John  i.  10;  Isa.  liii.  6.  If  you  want 
others,  take  Eccles.  vii.  20;    Ps.  cxliii.  2. 

FOR    THE  "  can't    HOLD   OUTS." 

Oh,  how  people  stumble  at  this,  just 
as  though  Christ  can  save  but  cannot 
keep.  It  is  ours  to  hold  on,  not  hold  out. 
Why  will  they  climb  mountains  before 
they  reach  them,  or  cross  ditches  before 
they  are  even  in  sight?  Is  the  God  of 
Daniel  dead  ?  Has  the  "  Mighty  to 
Save"  and  "Strong  to  Deliver"  been 
shorn  of  his  strength?  Nay,  nay;  he  is 
yet  able  to  make  Heb.  vii.  25  true,  and 
the  one  hundred  and  twenty-first  Psalm 
a  verity  to  mill.ons.  Give  them  the  fol- 
lowing: Jude  24;  John  x.  28,  29;  Rom. 
viii.  38,  39;  Deut.  x.xxi.  6;  and  Isa.  xli.  10, 
xliii.  I,  2. 

FOR   THE  "not   NOWS." 

Sad  indeed  is  it  to  see  men  and  women 
live  on  in  open  rebellion  against  God  the 
giver  of  every  good  and  perfect  gift ; 
sadder  yet  to  have  them  say,  "  Not  now," 
when  in  Christ's  stead  men  beseech 
them  to  become  reconciled.  Awful  is  the 
thought  that  possibly  he  may  say, "Thou 
fool,  this  night  thy  soul  shall  be  required 


of  thee."  Read  to  them  Prov.  xxvii.  i; 
James  iv.  13,  14 ;  2  Cor.  vi.  2 ;  Prov.  xxix.  i ; 
Heb.  iii.  13. 

FOR   THE  "l    can't   GIVE   UPS," 

Which  means  they  don'f  want  to  give  up. 
For  anybody,  who  wants  to,  can,  with  the 
mighty  grace  of  God  ever  ready  to  help. 
Let  them  choose  between  the  sin  of  earth 
wilh  attending  woe  in  hell,  and  the  cross 
of  Christ  with  the  joys  of  heaven.  There 
is  no  habit  so  strong  but  what  the  will,^ 
with  the  power  of  God,  can  overcome. 
There  is  no  sin  so  full  of  pleasure  but 
what  is  completely  swallowed  up  in  the 
joy  and  peace  of  Christian  service  and 
salvation.  Joshua  xxiv  15;  Mark  viii. 
36,  yj;  Luke  xiv.  24;  Philip,  iii.  7,  8. 

FOR   the  "I    WILL   TRVS." 

Try  what?  To  trust  God?  Absurd! 
Suppose  you  told  your  wife  or  mother  or 
friend  you  would  try  to  trust  them.  How 
ridiculous.  The  very  words  imply  doubt 
or  unbelief,  which  is  sin.  Tell  them  to 
change  the  "  I  w  ill  try  "  to  "  I  will  trust," 
and  have  them  read  Isa.  xxvi.  3,  4;  John 
X.  9;  and  Isa.  Ixiii.  i. 

FOR  THE  "  I'M  AS  GOOD  AS  OTHERS." 

To  be  sure  they  are,  may  be  better, 
and  yet  both  may  be  lost.  Hypocrites 
have  no  part  with  Christ.  VVhy  even 
stumble  at  the  inconsistencies  of  Christ- 
ians? "Every  one  of  us  shall  give  an 
account  of  himself  to  God." — Rom.  xiv. 
12.  At  the  day  of  final  reckoning  it  will 
not  serve  any  to  plead  his  neighbor's 
faults.  He  will  stand  or  fall  by  the  light 
and  living  of  his  own  life.  Rom.  ii.  i ; 
xiv.  3,  4;  Matt.  vii.  1-5. 

FOR    THE  "I    DON'T   KNOW   HOWS." 

These  words  might  come  with  truth 
from  Pagan  lips,  but  surely  not  from 
those  who  dwell  beneath  the  shadow  of 
God's  house,  or  in  hearing  of  the  church 
bells.  But  tell  them  the  simple  story  of 
the  cross,  and  slip  in  their  hand  the  Gos- 
pel by  John,  or  turn  with  them  to  your 
own  Bible  and  let  them  read  John  i.  12.  29, 
then  Rev.  xxii.  17,  after  which  that  match- 
less promise  in  Ezek.  xxxvi.  25  28. 

FOR   THE  "I'VE  TRIED   BEFORF-S." 

Tried  and  failed  !  Whose  fault  was  it 
that  they  did  not  succeed?  Surely  not 
God's,  for  he  says,  "Ye  shall  seek  me 
and  find  me,  when  ye  shall  search  for 
me  with  all  your  heart,  and  I  will  be 
found  of  you.' — Jer.  xxix.  13,  14.  In 
matters  of  time  if  we  fail  once  we  try 
again.  Shall  we  do  less  with  those  in- 
terests that  concern  our  welfare  throngh- 
out  eternity?  Give  them  Prov.  iii.  5; 
Deut.  iv.  29  with  Rom.  iv.  5  and  Eph.  ii,  8.

CHR/STfAN    WORKF.RS' 


Lesson   i6. 

HOW  TO  DEAL  WITH  INQUIRERS. 
Be  perfectly  natural  and  courteous  in 
your  approach,  and  when  talking  with 
them.  Have  your  own  Bible  so  marked 
that  you  can  find  the  passages  given  for 
differejit  classes;  also  try  and  be  able  to 
quote  them  correctly,  giving  chapter  and 
verse.  It  is  always  best  to  deal  .with  in- 
quirers alone.  Before  giving  the  word 
of  God  ascertain  the  condition  of  mind, 
that  you  may  rightly  divide  the  word  of 
truth  unto  them.  Pray  inwardly,  and 
depend  wholly  upon  the  Holy  Spirit  to 
guide  both  worker  and  seeker;  expect 
and  work  for  immediate  results;  show 
that  you  are  in  dead  earnest,  but  avoid 
excitement.  Explain  all  objections  by 
the  Word  of  God,  but  do  not  enter  into 
argument,  it  only  does  harm.  Avoid 
giving  your  own  experience,  as  this  may 
lead  tliem  to  expect  conversions  in  like 
manner  as  yours,  which  is  not  likely  to 
be  the  case.  If  your  work  is  in  the  re- 
vival service  or  inquiry  room,  or  at  the 
altar  or  anxious  seat,  so  far  as  you  can, 
select  persons  of  your  own  sex  and  age, 
and  talk  with  them.  Offer  Christ  as  the 
immediate  remedy  for  every  shade  of 
want  or  doubt  or  sin.  After  having  done 
your  best,  and  ther.i  seems  to  be  no 
result,  leave,  prayerfully,  the  sinner  and 
the  seed  you  have  sown  to  God,  the 
Judge  of  all.  It  is  good  to  have  just  a 
word  of  prayer  (very  informal)  before 
your  conversation,  and  always  after. 
When  the  sinner  has  found  Christ,  let 
the  fact  be  doubly  assured  to  both  rnind 
and  heart  by  Isa.  xii.  i,  2.  You  can 
often  lead  a  sinking  heart  into  the  king- 
dom as  they  pray  with  you.  Urge  an 
immediate  confession  of  their  conver- 
sion, both  at  home  and  to  the  pastor  or 
church  of  which  they  will  unite  at  the 
next  communion.  Take  the  full  name 
and  address,  with  their  church  affilia- 
tions, and  hand  to  the  leader  of  the 
meeting  or  pastor  of  the  church.  When 
parting  with  them  give  a  promise  of 
prayer,  and  then  three  passages  from 
the  Word  of  God,  which  they  should 
find  and  mark  in  their  Bible,  and  make 
constant  use  of:  i  Cor.  x.  13,  2  Cor.  ix.  8, 
Isa  xii.  10. 

Lesson    17. 

HOW  TO  APPROACH  THE  UNSAVED 
ABOUT  SALVATION. 

Keep  in  mind  the  three  classes : 

1.  Those  who  want  to  be  saved. 

2.  Those  who  are  indiflferent. 

3.  Those  who  don't  want  to  be  saved. 


To  all  of  these  three  go  earnestly, 
wisely,  naturally,  and  with  the  gospel  of 
Jesus  Christ.  Keep  in  mind  that  "  love 
never  fails."  Approach  them  frankly 
and  plainly.  Show  no  spirit  of  "  I  am 
above  you." 

To  those  who  are  anxious  for  salvation : 
I.  Go  with  the  message  of  reconcilia- 
tion. 2.  Aj^proach  them  as  one  that  can 
help,  3  Have  ready  Gods  word  to 
them.  4.  Lead  them  away  from  self  to 
Christ.  5.  If  at  all  possible  pray  to- 
gether. 6.  Don't  leave  them  till  they  are 
saved.  7.  Urge  an  immediate  confession 
of  Christ, 

To  those  who  are  in  part  or  totally  in- 
different to  the  matter  of  their  soul's 
welfare:  i.  Go  to  them  when  they  are 
alone.  2.  Select  an  opportune  moment. 
3.  Especially  approach  them  when  seri- 
ous. 4.  Take  no  sideswith  them  against 
God.  5.  Show  them  their  awful  condi- 
tion. 6.  Plead  with  them;  don't  scold. 
7  Present  both  the  justice  and  mercy  of 
God. 

To  those  who  don't  want  to  be  saved  or 
have  anything  to  do  with  God,  religion, 
the  church,  or  prayer,  go  as  follows: 
I.  Pray  much  before  you  approach  them 
at  all.  2.  Try  and  get  them  under  gos- 
pel influences.  3.  Quote  to  them  script- 
ure upon  scripture.  4.  Remind  them  of 
death  and  judgment.  5.  Show  the  con- 
ditions of  saved  and  lost.  6,  (Jet  them 
to  take  some  first  step.  7.  Give  them  a 
promise  of  help  and  prayer. 

SUGGESTIONS  : 

If  you  are  not  the  best  person,  get 
-someone  else  to  approach  them.  Pray 
much  that  the  Holy  Spirit  will  convict  of 
sin.  Don  t  let  modesty  or  fear  of  giving 
offence  deter  you  from  approaching  those 
whom  God  has  given  you  to '"reprove, 
rebuke,  exhort  with  all  long  suffering 
and  doctrine  "  To  keep  your  minds 
and  hearts  alive  to  the  work  of  seeking 
to  save  men  by  the  cross,  think  of  the 
brevity  of  life,  the  length  of  eternity, 
the  mighty  happiness  of  the  saved,  and 
the  awful  woe  of  the  lost. 

Lesson   18. 

WHAT  CONSECRATION  AND  SANCTI- 
FICATION  MEAN. 

Consecration  is  our  part;  sanctification 
is  God's  part,  and  both  mean  "The  set- 
ting apart  for  service."  Sanctification  is 
the  perfecting  of  the  work  wrought  at 
conversion,  and  is  an  act  of  God's  free 
grace  by  the  Holy  Spirit,  making  us  love 
God  with  all  our  heart,  and  ready  for  his 
work.  It  is  instantaneous,  like  conver- 
sion.   There  is  progressive  sanctification,

like  afflictions  being  sanctified  unto  us. 
Christ  made  perfect  throui^h  suffering. 
The  many  names  given  to  it  by  sects  and 
individuals.  Must  be  wrought  on  us  to 
be  understood,  like  conversion.  Justifi- 
cation is  not  sanctification.  Read  and 
study  the  following  texts  :  i  Thes.  v.  23 ; 
Rom  XV.  16;  I  Cor.  i.30;  John  xvii.  17,  19; 
Col.  i.  12,  21,  22;  2  Cor.  iii.  5.  The  char 
acter  of  consecrated  or  santified  persons 
may  be  found  in  the  following  two  chap- 
ters, Rom.  xii.  and  2  Cor.  vi.  This  to  be 
prayed  for  and  expected.  Read  what 
John  Wesley,  C.  G.  Finney,  and  Alfred 
Cookman  have  to  say  about  it.  Mr. 
Moody  says  it  is  "'  being  filled  with  the 
Spirit."  Sanctification  and  service  al- 
ways go  together.  How  shall  our  sanc- 
tification be  known?  a — By  an  holy  life. 
b — By  abundance  of  good  works,  c — By 
communion  with  God.  Sanctification 
makes  us  more  like  Christ,  giving  us 
these  three:  first,  a  perfect  Saviour; 
second,  a  perfect  love;  third,  a  perfect 
obedience  in  desire;  and  one  who  is 
sanctified  will,  like  him,  seek  to  save  the 
lost. 

Consecration  — Its  meaning.  The 
giving  ourselves  fully  to  God  to  do  his 
will,  whatever  it  may  be.  It  includes: 
I.  The  giving  of  our  hearts.  2.  The 
giving  of  our  minds.  3.  The  giving  of 
our  bodies.  4.  The  giving  of  our  pos- 
sessions.— All  a  consecrated  man  has 
belongs  by  the  act  of  consecration  to 
God:  he  is  steward.  —  Progressive  con-

service  is  the  fuller  meaning  of,  a  phy-

merchant's  consecration  to  his  business  ; 
a  lawyer's  consecration  to  his  practice  ;  a

Lesson   19. 

HINTS  ON  HOW  TO  LEAD  A  MEETING. 
Come  filled  to  the  brim  with  your  sub- 


ject. Let ,  your  words  be  on  fire.  Be 
tremejidously  in  earnest.  Be  on  time  in 
opening  and  closing.  Be  perfectly  nat- 
ural. See  that  the  air,  light,  and  seats 
are  in  good  condition.  Keej)  out  of  the 
old  ruts.  Speak  so  all  can  hear.  Don't 
take  others'  time.  Have  something  to 
say  as  leader.  Say  it.  Don't  let  per- 
sons speak  or  pray  too  long.  Don't  sing 
funeral  hymns  at  a  praise  service.  Have 
plenty  of  scripture,  and  give  its  meaning. 
Don't  mind  critics.  Don't  wear  squeaky 
shoes.  Adapt  yourself  to  circumstances. 
Be  guided  by  the  Holy  Spirit.  Keep  to 
the  theme,  and  make  others  do  so.  Al- 
ways give  the  best  you  have.  Put  soul 
power  into  the  service.  Never  lose  your 
grip.  Select  both  hymns  and  scripture 
beforehand.  Keep  your  voice  right  to 
the  size  of  the  room.  Sit  out  where  the 
people  can  see  you.  Don't  let  cranks 
take  part.  Be  master  of  the  situation, 
by  the  grace  of  God.  Strike  for  results 
when  the  iron  is  hot.  Be  wise  in  giving 
the  invitation  to  the  unsaved.  Keep  in 
mind  the  fifteen  minutes  after  service. 
Use  your  own  Bible  and  get  others  to 
use  theirs.  Don't  let  organist  or  pianist 
give  a  concert,  with  preludes,  interludes, 
etc.  Urge  brevity  and  brightness.  Help 
the  weak  and  timid  ones  to  take  part. 
Have  great  variety  in  all  services.  Make 
the  stranger  welcome.  If  your  plans 
don't  work  try  others.  Don't  imagine 
you  are  the  meeting :  you  are  only  leader 
under  God.  Pray  much  before  you  come, 
while  there,  and  after.  Depend  on  God 
for  help  more  than  on  the  people.  Don't 
be  afraid — mistakes,  wrong  plans,  etc. 
God  will  make  true  Rom.  viii.  28,  Let 
your  face  and  manner  be  blessed  to  the 
peoples  good.  Get  in  a  devotional 
spirit.  Have  both  solemnity  and  joy- 
ousness  in  the  meetings.  Have  faith  in 
God.  Have  an  aim  and  object  in  every 
service  you  lead.  Don't  sing  too  slow  or 
too  fast.  Get  the  people's  mind  off  you 
and  on  Christ.  Try  and  build  up 
Christians,  and  get  sinners  converted. 
Services  that  don't  honor  God,  and  help 
people  to  live  better  and  brighter  had 
better  never  be  held.  All  people  are 
not  leaders.  The  way  to  learn  how  to 
lead  meetings  is  to  lead  them.  Don't 
try  for  what  can't  be  had  in  the  service.

know  what  it  means  to  be  "  fishers  of 
men."

a — Must  go  where  the  fish  are. 

b— Can't  catch  fresh- water  fish  in  the 
sea. 

c — The  difference  between  a  whale  and 
a  mackerel, 

d — Some  caught  with  hooks,  others 
with  nets. 

e — Use  bait  the  fish  like. 

f— Cast  the  net  on  the  "  right  side." 

THE   TWO    INVITATIONS. 

First,  the  personal— Given  to  the  indi- 
vidual. 

Second,  the  general — Given  to  a  com- 
pany. 

THE   THREE   CONSTRAINING   ELEMENTS. 

1.  Love  —  "The  goodness  of  God 
should   lead   to  repentance." 

2.  Fear — "Flee  from  the  wrath  to 
come." 

3.  Duty — "  Give  me  thy  heart." 

With  these  may  be  added :  The  im- 
mortality of  the  soul.  The  unsatisfying 
nature  of  worldly  things.  The  satisfying 
nature  of  Christian  religion.  The  final 
judgment  day  of  all  men.  The  evil  or 
good  influence  of  a  life.  Personal  re- 
sponsibility to  God.  The  call  of  con- 
science. 

Always  remember  that  the  final  invi- 
tation should  be  such  as  to  reach  both 
the  conscience  and  the  will. 

Keep  in  mind  the  three  classes  of  sin- 
ners :  The  careless,  without  desire  for 
salvation  ;  the  awakened,  conscious  of 
needing  a  Saviour;  the  convicted,  calling 
for  a  Saviour. 

Get  the  spirit  and  words  of  Moses  in 
Deut.  xx.x.  15  20. 

In  the  majority  of  cases  in  the  general 
invitation,  it  is  best  to  so  give  it  as  to 
have  the  sinner  take  a  bold  stand  on  the 
side  of  Christ.  Tlie  excepti<jns  are 
where  the  sinner  will  in  a  quiet  way 
take  a  first  step,  and  thereby  get  confi- 
dence both  in  himself  and  Christ  for  a 
bolder  stand.  Make  sure  of  all  this  in 
all  invitations,  that  the  sinner  under- 
stands there  is  salvation  in  nothing,  or 
nowhere  but  in  Christ.  Everv  invitation 
must  mean  at  the  bottom,  "  The  full  sur- 
render of  all  to  God.  The  complete 
giving  of  all  we  have  and  are  to  the  ser- 
vice of  Christ,  and  trusting  him." 

SPECIAL   KINDS   OF   INVIT.\TION. 

Who  will  come  to  the  altar  or  anxious 
seat  to  seek  Christ?  Who  will  come  to 
the  inquiry  room?  Will  you  come  and 
be  one  of  the  class  to  be  instructed  "how 
to  be  saved?"  Will  you  rise  up  in  your 
seat?  While  all  Christians  are  standing 
or  bowed  in  prayer,  get  them  to  rise  or 


lift  a  hand  for  prayer;  this  is  a  first  step. 
Ask  3II  who  liave  decided  to  become 
Christians  to  rise  and  say,  "  I  have,"  or 
"  I  will."  Have  them  repeat  "Christ  for 
me."  Make  the  seat  an  altar  of  prayer. 
Get  them  first  to  rise  for  prayer,  then  to 
come  forward  as  seekers  for  salvation. 
Get  them  to  lift  the  hand  or  rise  for 
prayer  or  as  seekers,  tlien  invite  them  to 
an  after  service.  Have  them  remain  in 
their  seat,  and  some  Christian  worker 
will  talk  with  them.  "Who  will  meet 
with  the  others  and  hear  the  plan  of  sal- 
vation ?"  Who  will  sign  an  "I  will" 
card?  Then  get  a  book  like  "Good 
news  for  you."  Have  all  who  want 
Christ,  or  will  seek  him,  to  walk  out  of 
their  seat  to  the  inquiry  room.  Give  the 
plans  of  salvation,  and  then  get  them  to 
say,  "  I  will  trust,  '  "  I  will  take,"  or  "  I 
will  choose."  While  heads  are  bowed 
in  prayer,  get  them  to  rise  and  say,  "  I 
take  Christ."  Ask,  "  Who  will  receive 
Jesus?"  Give  full  plan  of  salvation, 
then  get  Christians  and  all  who  will  give 
themselves  to  God  to  stand  and  sing 
"My  God  is  reconciled."  Ask  those 
who  have  or  will  give  themselves  to  God 
to  come  forward  and  shake  hands  with 
the  leader  or  minister.  Get  the  Christ- 
ians and  the  sinners  to  the  altar.  Ask 
all  who  will  seriously  listen  to  the  truth 
to  stand.  Get  them  to  ask  for  prayer 
by  written  request.  Invite  them  to  meet 
you  in  your  own  room.  Sing  "  Who  will 
go,"  and  ask  who  will.  Who  will  prom- 
ise to  meet  me  in  heaven  ?  Who  will 
meet  loved  ones  in  heaven?  Ask  the 
older  Christians  to  stand,  then  "who  will 
take  their  keeping  Saviour?"  Who  will 
accept  the  King's  invitation  to  be  present 
at  the  marriage  supper  of  the  Lamb? 
Who  will  pray,  "God  be  merciful  to  me 
a  sinner?"  Who  will  call  on  the  name 
of  the  Lord?  Who  will  meet  the  pastor 
of  the  church  ?  Go  from  seat  to  seat 
seeking  sinners.  While  preaching,  stop 
and  ur<;e  ^n  immediate  giving  of  them- 
selves to  God  Between  the  verses  of 
song  or  solo  get  them  to  decide.  While 
singing  an  invitation  hymn,  get  them  to 
decide  and  come.  Ask,  "  VVill  you  be  a 
Christian  now?"  and  get  them  to  decide 
then  and  there.  Let  unsaved  seekers 
come  forward  and  seek  till  they  find 
that  light.  Ask,  "Who  will  give  up  all 
sin  and  serve  God?"  Who  will  write 
thrir  names  after  "  fear  not"  in  Isa.  xliii.  i. 
Who  will  receive  and  who  will  reject 
Christ?  Get  those  who  have  the  most 
influence  with  the  individual  to  invite 
them.  Get  them  to  come  to  the  uncon- 
verted people's  meeting.

ILLUSTRATIONS— HOW  TO  MAKE 
AND  USE  THEM. 

First  note  their  power:  A  child  will 
always  listen  to  a  story.  We  never  grow 
beyond  liking  them.  Crowds  will  hang 
upon  their  narration.  Jesus  always  used 
them.  Every  successful  preacher  uses 
them.  This  kind  of  truth  is  remembered 
longest.  See  how  the  world  uses  this 
power,  in  theatres  —  a  tale  acted  out; 
!  newspapers — "The  cry  for  something 
new  in  story;"  platform — lectures  illus- 
trated, etc.  A  soul  winner  must  be  able 
ti»  illustrate  truth  :  i.  It  will  secure  him 
a  hearing.  2.  It  will  gain  the  attention. 
3.  It  will  enable  him  to  reach  the  con- 
science, the  feelings  and  the  will.  Illus- 
trations, like  bread,  can  both  be  made  or 
bought.  To  duy  them  we  must  pay  the 
price  of,  first,  close  attentioji ;  second,  a 
retentive  mind;  third,  a  quick  discern- 
ment ;  fourth,  a  ready  application.  They 
are  to  be  had  from  sermons,  addresses, 
newspapers,  magazines,  books,  conver- 
sations, and  every  like  source.  "Use  the 
scissors."  Pencil  and  paper  are  neces- 
sary to  their  being  stored  up  for  use. 
To  mai^  them  we  must  have  the  faculty 
of  construction.  An  eye  that  can  detect 
good  material  An  ear  that  catches 
meaning  as  well  as  sound.  Ability  to 
read  between  the  lines,  and  some  knowl- 
edge of  cause  and  effect.  There  must 
be  a  study  of  human  nature  and  mental 
philosophy,  either  with  or  without  books, 
or  both.

These  are  the  most  powerful,  because 
of  the  most  truth  in  them.  Joseph  in 
prison  —  God's  watch  care.  Daniel's 
prayer  meetings  —  illustrate  prayer. 
Saul  going  to  Tarsus — religion  at  home. 
Shunamite  woman — good  guests.  Feed- 
ing the  five  thousand — much  in  a  little. 
Lot's  visit  to  his  sons — warn  the  wicked. 
Four  men  at  one  time  —  earnestness. 
Valley  of  dry  bones— what  God  can  do. 
The  ten  lepers  —  ungratefulness;  and  a 
thousand  more.  Bible  illustrations  usu- 
ally carry  or  make  their  own  points. 
Never  let  an  illustration  cover  up  the 
truth,  but  make  it  clear.  Illustrations 
from  your  own  experience  are  the  best 
for  you,  as  a  rule.  Keep  them  fresh. 
Clothe  your  illustrations  in  words  that  all 
will  understand — language  of  common 
life.  Leave  out  technical  terms,  and 
never  use  Greek  or  Latin.  Men  don't 
carry  Webster's  unabridged.  Illustra- 
tions may  be  either  real  or  supposed,  like 
a  parable,  as  is  that  of  the  Prodigal  Son. 


Use  your  imagination.  An  illustration  is 
simply  a  medium  by  which  truth  is  con- 
veyed to  the  mind.  The  barbed  arrow 
is  the  instrument  of  carrying  the  poison 
to  the  enemy's  heart.  Be  careful  of  too 
much  illustration  ;  it  can  be  overdone. 
My  plan  of  getting  and  using  them: 
First,  incidents  in  mv  work  ;  second,  in- 
cidents in  my  past  life;  third,  happen- 
ings around  me;  fourth,  keep  everylliing 
good  I  hear;  fifth,  make  them  in  niy 
walks  and  rides;  si.xth,  use  them  the 
first  chance  I  get;  sevetith,  keep  all 
that's  good  and  no  more;  the  rest  throw 

^''""y-  Lesson   22 

THE  WORKER  AND  HIMSELF. 

Before  going  to  war.  count  the  cost. 
Let  every  one  who  would  toil  in  the 
Master's  vineyard  carefully  examine 
himself  or  herself.  When  a  lack  is 
found,  supply  it  at  once. 

The  following  are  some  of  the  "musts" 
of  one  who  would  work  for  Jesus :  Have 
salvation;  and  know  it.  Look  away 
from  your  weakness  to  God's  strength. 
Choose  lines  of  work  fitted  for  you. 
Recognize  the  constant  inward  warfare. 
Constantly  labor  with  yourself.  Have 
an  aim,  and  make  it  by  the  grace  of  God. 
Have  plans,  and  work  them.  Be  your- 
self—sanctified individuality  is  a  mighty 
power.  God  never  uses  fools  for  his 
work.  Be  like  men  only  as  they  are  like 
Christ.  Blaze  and  burn  with  zeal  for 
souls.  Take  all  discouragements  to 
God  in  prayer.  Feed  yourself  before 
giving  to  others.  Study  the  Bible  first 
for  your  own  heart.  Don't  be  a  preacher 
when  you  ought  to  be  a  ploughman. 
God  will  guide  you  if  you  will  let  him. 
Many  die  from  overwork  in  business, 
but  mighty  few  from  overwork  in  relig- 
ion. Be  sure  and  have  a  fresh  personal 
experience.  Keep  your  hands  clean  and 
heart  pure.  Think  much  on  John  xv.  7 
and  Jer.  xxxii.  17.  Dress  neatly  and  be 
clean  in  every  way.  Don't  use  tobacco, 
liquors,  or  over  eat.  Get  plenty  of  sleep, 
but  don't  forget  Prov.  xxiv.  33, 34.  Think 
while  on  your  feet,  and  cultivate  memory. 
Learn  by  others'  mistakes  rather  than 
your  own.  Keep  humble,  or  God  won't 
use  you.  Read  good  books,  and  keep 
good  company.  Don't  be  so  modest  as 
to  miss  your  opportunity.  Know  your- 
self and  men  about  you.  Let  your 
purposes  be  founded  on  the  Rock.  Don't 
be  idle,  but  take  rest,  and  eat  well.  Live 
ever  ready  for  Christ's  coming.  Make  a 
covenant  with  your  eyes  and  ears.  Die 
rather  than  sin.  Be  as  much  like  Christ 
as  grace  and  God  can  make  you.

Lesson  23.] 


CHRISTIAN    WORKERS* 


Lesson   23. 

A  CLEAR  IDEA  OF  CONVERSION. 

"  I  have  been  converted "  means,  in 
full,  a  change  of  service  from  Satan  to 
God.  and  the  heart  regenerated  by  the 
Word  of  God  tlirough  the  power  of  the 
Holy  Spirit.  John  iii.  7,  "Ye  must  be 
born  again " — "  Ye  are  his  whom  ye 
obey."     At  conversion  there  is  : 

Repentance— toward  God.  A  change 
of  will.  Giving  up  all  sin.  Making  res- 
titution. Leaving  the  world.  It  is  our 
])art  in  conversion.  It  is  the  prodigal 
coming  to  himself,  and  not  only  resolv- 
ing, but  .^oing  to  his  Father.  Luke  xiii.  3; 
Isa.  Ix.  6,  7;  Prov.  xxxvii.  13. 

Faith — saving  faith  is  a  personal  trust 
in  Jesus  Christ  for  salvation.  It  is  believ- 
ing he  died  for  me.  It  is  taking  God  at 
his  word  and  resting  thereon  for  the  for- 
giveness of  sins.  Faith  that  by  the  blood 
of  Christ  we  have  redemption.  Faith 
that  God  receives  us  in  reconciliation. 
It  has  knowledge,  assent,  and,  greatest 
of  all,  appropriating  power  or  laying 
hold.  It  is  our  part  in  conversion,  as- 
sisted by  the  free  grace  of  God.  Acts 
xiii.  38,  39;  viii.37;  xvi.  30,  31;  Isa.  xii.  2. 

Regeneration — a  work  wrought  on 
the  heart  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  whereby  a 
new  nature  is  given  us,  which  is  the 
germ  or  principle  of  divine  life.  It  is 
not  the  old  nature  fixed  up.  Being  dead 
in  trespasses  and  sin,  by  regeneration  we 
get  the  gift  of  eternal  life.  It  is  God's 
work  in  conversion.  Sometimes  the  soul 
is  conscious  of  the  moment  when  this  is 
done ;  sometimes  not.  Regeneration 
gives  life. 

Adoption — We  are  made  Sons  of  God 
by  adoption  the  moment  we  are  con- 
verted, so  that  we  belong  to  God  as  a 
child  belongs  to  its  father.  We  are  of 
the  household  of  faith.  Christ  is  the 
great  Shepherd  and  we  are  one  of  his 
flock.  We  are  not  our  own,  but  belong 
to  God,  who  will  keep  both  us  and  our 
trust  if  we  will  let  him. 

Justification  —  At  conversion  we 
stand  justified  before  God.  because  hav- 
ing faith  in  Christ  and  his  atonement 
for  sin  we  have  his  righteousness  im- 
puted unto  us.  We  drop  our  own  right- 
eousness as  filthy  rags  and  trust  alone 
in  the  merit  of  the  Son  of  God,  for  Christ 
is  the  end  of  the  law  for  righteousness  to 
every  one  that  believeth.  We  are'justi- 
fied  not  by  good  works  or  deeds  of  the 
law,  but  only  by  faith  in  him  who  alone 
is  righieous.     Justification  gives  peace. 

Confession — This  is  always  a  part  of 
conversion,  and   means  the  declaration 


given  by  us  to  the  world  that  we  are  fol- 
lowers of  Christ.  Practically,  it  is  both 
by  word  of  mouth  and  a  godly  walk, 
life,  and  conversation.  It  should  always 
embody  the  taking  of  the  sacrament,  and 
uniting  with  the  visible  church  of  Christ. 
Rom.  X.  8,  9;  Ps.  xcii.  13. 

The  evidences  of  conversion  are  of 
three  kinds  : 

First,  the  inner  consciousness  of  it  by 
the  Spirit  of  God,  which  is  usually  knowii 
by  the  love  of  God  shed  abroad  in  our 
heart.  "The  Spirit  himself  beareth  wit- 
ness with  our  spirit  that  wo  are  the  chil- 
dren of  God."— Rom.  viii.  16.  There  is 
a  consciousness  of  love  for  God,  his  peo- 
ple, his  service,  and  his  holiness. 

Second,  the  Word  of  God,  which  be- 
comes life  to  us.  and  we  have  hope  in  it. 
The  promises  become  unto  us  the  title 
deeds  of  our  everlasting  inheritance. 
I  John  v.  13;  John  v.  24. 

Third,  by  the  fruit  bearing  of  our  lives. 
"Ye  shall  know  them  by  their  fruit." 
We  do  good  for  Christ's  sake.  The  mo- 
tive is  changed  from  that  which  we  had 
before  conversion,  wherein  we  did  good 
from  various  motives,  but  never  for 
Christ's  sake  and  to  glorify  God.  This 
is  the  difference  between  the  good  works 
of  the  righteous  and  the  wicked,  or  the 
saved  and  the  unsaved. 

At  conversion  the  mind  is  changed 
toward  God ;  we  hate  sin  and  love  right- 
eousness. "  There  is  no  peace,  saith  my 
God.  to  the  wicked."  At  conversion  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  put  within  us,  vvhicli 
is  righteousness,  peace,  and  joy  in  the 
Holy  Ghost.  Reformation  is  not  regen- 
eration. At  conversion  the  old  nature  is 
not  destroyed,  but  a  new  nature  added, 
and  this  struggle  of  the  new  nature  with 
the  old  nature  is  called  the  christian 
warfare.  It  is  the  will  fighting  against 
the  sensibilities.  A  new  convert  is  a 
babe  in  Christ,  and  must  grow  in  grace 
and  knowledge.  Children  may  be  so 
taught  that  neither  they  or  their  parents 
can  tell  when  they  were  converted.  It 
ought  to  be  so  in  all  possible  cases. 
Temptations  and  trials  are  no  proof  we 
are  not  converted ;  it  is  rather  a  proof 
of  it.  Having  doubts,  or  falling  into  sin, 
is  no  proof  that  we  are  not  or  never  have 
been  converted.  Notice  the  great  con- 
trasts in  the  conversions  of  the  Bible. 
Paul,  Lydia,  the  jailor,  the  thief  on  the 
cross,  the  woman  at  the  well,  the  pub- 
lican, and  others. 

FEELING. 

There  is  a  godly  sorrow  for  sin,  some- 
times before,  sometimes  after  conversion. 
There  is  conviction  of  sin,  more  or  less 


94

deep ;  the  deeper  it  is  before  conversion 
the  belter.  Joy  over  conversion  never 
coniL's  till  we  have  completely  submitted 
and  surrendered  to  God  and  received 
Jesus  as  Saviour,  Sometimes  it  does 
not  come  then.  Sooner  or  later  it  will 
come.     Never  depend  on  feelings.

Lesson  25, 

INCENTIVES  TO  SOUL  SAVING 
WORK. 

First.  The  command  of  our  Lord. 
Second.  The  reward  for  the  service. 
Third.  The  good  that  comes  to  those 
saved.  Fourth.  The  greater  praise  that 
comes  to  God.  Fifth.  The  blessing  that 
comes  to  society.  Sixth.  The  joy  in 
three  worlds.  Seventh.  The  defeat  of 
Satan. 

THE    COMMAND. 

This  is  explicit  and  direct.  Mark  xvi. 
15;  John  XV.  16;  2  Cor.  v.  12-20;  Ezek. 
xxxiii.  8.  Have  we  been  saved  if  we 
deny  the  cup  of  salvation  to  others? 
Can  we  be  saved  if  we  fail  in  this  com- 
mand ?  See  that  awful  warning  in  Ezek. 
xxxiii.  12.  To  neglect  to  give  the  pa- 
tient the  medicine  and  he  die  thereby, 
are  we  not  responsible  for  the  death? 
Consider  the  result  of  a  Levite  who  re- 
fused to  tell  the  serpent-bitten  Israelites 
that  Moses  had  lifted  the  brazen  remedy, 
and  he  that  would  look  should  live. 
Read  John  iii.  14,  15.  Christ  said,  "  If  ye 
love  me  keep  my  commandments."  "If 
I  be  lifted  up  I  will  draw  all  men  unto 
me."  It's  ours  to  lift  him  up  that  the 
whole  world  may  see  him.  See  John 
xvii.  20,  21. 

THE    REWARD. 

James  v.  20;  here  is  the  promise  of  a 
double  reward.  Dan.  xii.  3  gives  the 
eternal  reward.  John  xii.  26  has  a  dei)lh 
of  meaning  in  it  which  only  heaven  can 
reveal.  Think  of  meeting  those  you 
have  led  to  Christ,  in  heaven,  i.  There 
is  no  "oy  like  that  of  soul  saving.    2.  We 


06 


Lesson  25.]     CHRISTIAN  WORKERS'  TRAINING  CLASS  LESSONS. 


grow  mightily  in  grace  thereby.  3.  We 
make  friendships  that  are  eternal.  4.  It 
brings  gladness  next  to  our  own  conver- 
sion. 5.  We  gain  the  love  and  esteem 
of  the  Church.  6.  It  helps  to  answer 
prayer.  7.  It  sets  all  heaven  singing  for 
joy. — Luke  xv. 

THE   GOOD   THAT   COMES. 

A  soul  saved  from  hell.  A  wicked  life 
changed  to  one  of  righteousness.  The 
fires  of  a  burning  conscienco  put  out, 
and  peace,  like  a  river,  put  in.  A  soul 
set  free  from  the  service  of  Satan. 
Good  influences  let  loose,  bad  influences 
changed.  A  soul  reconciled  to  God. 
"  Harmony  once  more."  Hope  restored, 
manhood  regained,  life  found.  Con- 
demnation gone;  victory  over  death. 
Companionship  of  Jesus  The  indwell- 
ing God  and  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 
Love  the  controlling  motive,  and  not  self 
or  selfishness. 

THE   GRE.\TER    PRAISE   OF   GOD. 

A  soul  saved  will  sing  forever.  God 
will  never  hear  the  last  of  "saving  a  sin- 
ner like  me."  Everlasting  praise  for 
everlasting  salvation. 

BLESSING   TO   SOCIETY. 

Hatred,  malice,  strife  lessened,  and 
love,  joy,  and  peace  increased.  There 
is  no  Christianity  without  morality. 
Convert  the  race  and  prisons  close,  two- 
thirds  of  all  asylums  and  hospitals  will 
not  be  needed.  One  judge  will  do  for 
every  fifty  we  now  have.  War  will  be 
known  only  in  memory,  and  every  sol- 
dier can  beat  his  gun  into  pruning 
hooks  and  go  to  work.  The  cry  of  the 
poor  will  be  stopped  with  mouthfuls  of 
meat,  and  the  destitute  will  sing  for  joy 
of  plenty. 

JOY   IN   THREE   WORLDS. 

Heaven  will  rejoice.  Earth  will  re- 
joice. Some  mother  will  weep  tears  of 
joy  over  her  boy  saved  at  last.  Wife 
will  have  the  glad  knowledge  that  she 
and  her  husband  will  not  part  forever 


at  the  grave.  Brother  and  sisters  will 
sing  the  same  songs  of  salvation.  Hell 
will  rejoice.  Yes,  strange  as  it  may 
seem,  lost  brothers,  like  the  one  in  Luke 
xvi.  27-30,  will  be  glad  to  know  that 
others  of  the  same  household  have  es- 
caped the  torments  of  the  wicked. 

THE   DEFEAT   OF  SATAN. 

The  enemy  of  Christ  foiled  at  last. 
Seeking  whom  he  may  devour,  he  has 
lost  his  prey.  Christ  and  the  angels 
victorious.  Satan  and  the  devils  de- 
feated. The  glory  of  triumph  in  battle. 
One  more  in  heaven — one  less  in  hell.

Then  he  heaixi  my  prayer  and  made  nic  clean, Cleansed  me  at  the  fount  of  life. 
Then  I  wept  and  sang  low  at     his  feet,  Drinking  at  the  fount  of   life.

And  the  thought  filled  my  heart  with  sad 

There's  no  hope  for  a  sinner  like  rae, 

I  I  then  fully  trusted  in  Jesus, 

And  oh,  what  a  joy  came  to  me ; 
My  heart  was  filled  with  his  praises,

No  longer  in  darkness  I'm  walking, 
For  the  light  is  now  shining  on  me, 

And  now  unto  others  I'm  telling, 
How  he  saved  a  poor  sinner  like  me. 

And  when  life's  journey  is  over, 
And  I  the  dear  Saviour  shall  see, 

I'll  praise  him  forever  and  ever, 
For  saving  a  sinner  like  me.

JUST  AS  I  AM. 


Tune  and  Chorus  above. 


I  Just  as  I  am,  without  one  plea. 
But  that  thy  blood  was  shed  for  me. 
And  that  thou  bid'st  me  come  to  thee, 
O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come ! 

a  Just  as  I  am,  and  waiting  not 
To  rid  my  soul  of  one  dark  blot. 
To  thee  whose  blood  can  cleanse  each 
O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come !      [spot, 

3  Just  as  I  am,  though  tossed  about 
With  many  a  conflict,  many  a  doubt, 
Fightings  within,  and  fears  without, 
O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come ! 


4  Just  as  I  am — poor,  wretched,  blind; 
Sight,  riches,  healing  of  the  mind, 
Yea,  all  I  need,  in  thee  to  find, 

O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come ! 

5  Just  as  I  am— thou  wilt  receive. 

Wilt  welcome,  pardon,  cleanse,  relieve; 
Because  thy  promise  I  believe, 
O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come ! 

6  Just  as  I  am— thy  love  unknown 
Hath  broken  every  barrier  down. 
Now,  to  be  thine,  yea,  thine  alone, 

O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come !

1.  There  comes  to  my  heart  one  sweet  strain,  A  glad  and  a  joyous  re  -  frain, 

sweet  strain,  refrain, 

2.  By  Christ  on  the  cross  peace  was  made.  My  debt  by  his  death  was  all  paid, 

was  made,  all  paid, 

3.  When  Jesus  as  Lord  I  had  crowned,    My  heart  with  this  peace  did  abound, 

had  crowned,  abound, 

4.  In  Jesus  for  peace  I    a-  bide,  abide.  And  as  I  keep  close  to  his  side,  his  side.

Your  many  sins  are  all  forgiven. 

Oh,  hear  the  voice  of  Jesus ; 
Go  on  your  way  in  peace  to  heaven, 

And  wear  a  crown  with  Jesus. 
All  glory  to  the  dying  Lamb ! 

I  now  believe  in  Jesus; 
I  love  the  blessed  Saviour's  name, 

I  love  the  name  of  Jesus. 
The  children  too, both  great  and  small, 

Who  love  the  name  of  Jesus, 
May  now  accept  his  gracious  call 

To  work  and  live  for  Jesus. 


Come,  brethren,  help  me  sing  his  praise. 

Oh,  praise  the  name  of  Jesus ; 
Come,  sisters,  all  your  voices  raise, 

Oh,  bless  the  name  of  Jesus. 
His  name  dispels  my  guilt  and  fear. 

No  other  name  but  Jesus ; 
Oh,  how  my  soul  delights  to  hear 

The  precious  name  of  Jesus. 
And  when  to  that  bright  world  above. 

We  rise  to  see  our  Jesus, 
We'll  sing  around  the  throne  of  love 

His  name,  the  name  of  Jesus. 


MY  SOUL,  BE  ON  THY  GUARD.— Laban,  key  D. 


1  My  soul,  be  on  thy  guard. 

Ten  thousand  foes  arise ; 
The  hosts  of  sin  are  pressing  hard 
To  draw  thee  from  the  skies. 

2  Oh,  watch,  and  fight,  and  pray ; 

The  battle  ne'er  give  o'er ; 
Renew  it  boldly  every  day. 
And  help  divine  implore. 


3  Ne'er  think  the  vict'ry  won, 

Nor  lay  thine  armor  down  ; 
The  work  of  faith  will  not  be  done 
Till  thou  obtain  the  crown. 

4  Then  persevere  till  death 

Shall  bring  thee  to  thy  God ; 
He'll  take  thee,  at  thy  parting  breath. 
To  his  divine  abode.

1.  Wheu  we  ent^r  the  portals  of  jilo  -  ry .  Aud  the  great  host  of  ransom 'd  we  see, 

2.  When  we  see  all  the  saved  of  the  aj?e«,  Who  from  cruel  death  partings  are  free, 

3.  When  we  stand  by  the  beautiful  river,'Neath  the  shade  of  the  life-giving  tree, 

4.  When  we  look  on  the  form  that  redeem'd  us,  And  his  glory  and  majesty  see, 


As  the  numberless  sand  of  the  sea-shore,  What  a  wonderful  sight  that  will  be ! 

Greeting  there  with  a  heavenly  greeting,  What  a  wonderful  sight  that  will  be ! 

Gazing  out  o'er  the  fair  land  of  promise,  What  a  wonderful  sight  that  will  be ! 

While  as  King  of  the  saints  he  is  reigning.  What  a  wonderful  sight  that  will  be !

4.  I  know  I  shall  see  in  his  beauty     The  King  in  whose  law  I  de  -  light,

Bright  star  of  hope  for      ruined  man,     Is  Jesus  Christ,  the  cruci  -  fied ! 
In  this  sure  trust  I       anchor  fast.   And  find  a  blessed  safe  re  -  treat.

With  hope  and  with  gladness  dispelling  its  gloom. 

With  gladness  dispelling  its  gloom.

And  blessings  unmeasured  he  pours  on  my  head ; 
My  cup  with  abundance  and  joy  overflows; 
He  dries  all  my  tears,  and  he  heals  all  my  woes. 
He  heals  all  my  woes,  all  my  woes. 

5  His  goodness  and  mercy  shall  crown  all  my  days. 

My  mouth  shall  be  filled  with  thanksgiving  and  praist; 
I'll  dwell  in  his  temple  of  glory  above. 
And  sing  evermore  of  his  grace  and  his  love.

Nor  in  thy  richness  stay  : 
Stay  not  till  all  the  lowly 

Triumphant  reach  their  home : 
Stay  not  till  all  the  holy 

Proclaim,  "The  Lord  is  come  !"

4  O  Jesus,  blessed  Jesus,  dear, 
I'm  coming  now  to  thee ; 
Since  thou  hast  made  the  way  so  clear. 
And  full  salvation  free. 


5  Come,  then,  and  join  this  holy  band. 
And  on  to  glory  go ; 
To  dwell  in  that  celestial  land 
Where  joys  immortal  flow. 


Come,  Humble 

1  Come,  humble  sinner,  in  whose  breast 

A  thousand  thoughts  revolve, 
Come,with  your  guilt  and  fearopprest. 
And  make  this  last  resolve : — 

2  ni  go  to  Jesus,  though  my  sin 

Like  mountains  round  me  close ; 
I  know  his  courts,  I'll  enter  in, 
Whatever  may  oppose. 

3  Prostrate  I'll  lie  before  his  throne. 

And  there  my  guilt  confess ; 


Sinner.  Tune  aboTC 

I'll  tell  him  I'm  a  wretch  undone, 
Without  his  sovereign  grace. 

Perhaps  he  will  admit  my  plea, 
Perhaps  will  hear  my  prayer  ; 

But,  if  I  perish,  I  will  pray, 
And  perish  only  there. 

I  can  but  perish,  if  I  go; 

I  am  resolved  to  try : 
For  if  I  stay  away  I  know 

I  must  forever  die.    —Edmund  Jonbs.

3  While  life's  dark  maze  I  tread, 
And  griefs  around  me  spread. 

Be  thou  my  guide ; 
Bid  darkness  turn  to  day. 
Wipe  sorrow's  tears  away. 
Nor  let  me  ever  stray 

From  thee  aside. 

4  When  ends  life's  transient  dream, 
WTien  death's  cold  sullen  stream 

Shall  o'er  me  roll, 
Blest  Saviour!  then,  in  love, 
Fear  and  distrust  remove; 
Oh,  bear  me  safe  aljovc — 

A  ransomed  soul !

J      There's  a  wideness  in  God's  mercy,  Like  the  wideness  of  the  sea 
There's  a  kindness  in   his  justice  Which  is  more  than 


1  li-ber-ty.

There  is  welcome  for  the  sinner, 
And  more  graces  for  the  good  ; 

Tnere  is  mercy  with  the  Saviour; 
There  is  healing  in  his  blood. 

For  the  love  of  God  is  broader 
Than  the  measure  of  man's  mind ; 


And  the  heart  of  the  Eternal 
Is  most  wonderful  and  kind. 

If  our  love  were  but  more  simple. 
We  should  take  him  at  his  word ; 

And  our  lives  would  be  all  sunshine 
In  the  sweetness  of  our  Lord.

Prayer  is  the  key  to  unlock  the  door,  and  the  bolt  to  shut  in  the  night.

?^P 


1.  Prayer    is  the  key  For  the  bending  knee  To  open  the  morn's  first  hours; 

2.  Not  a  soul  so  sad,  Nor  a  heart  so  glad,  When  cometh  the  shades  of  night, 

3.  Take  the  golden  key  In  your  hand  and  see,  As  the  night  tide  drifts  away, 


See  the  incense  rise  To  the  star-  ry  skies,  Like  per  -  fume  from  the  flow'rs. 
But  the  daybreak  song  Will  the  joy  prolong,  And  some  darkness  turn  to  light. 
How  its  blessed  hold  Is     a  crown  of  gold.  Thro'  the  weary   hours  of  day. 


4  When  the  shadows  fall, 
And  the  vesper  call 

Is  sobbing  its  low  refrain, 
'Tis  a  garland  sweet 
To  the  toil  dent  feet. 

And  an  antidote  for  pain. 


From  "Goodly  Pearls,"  by  pei.

5  Soon  the  year's  dark  door 
Shall  be  shut  no  more  : 

Life's  tears  shall  be  wiped  away 
As  the  pearl  gates  swing. 
And  the  gold  harps  ring. 

And  the  sun  unsheathe  for  aye.
